From what I've heard about him, he'd throw his toys out of his pram/cell like the big man/baby he is.

President Bush said he did not think the images would incite further anti-American sentiment in Iraq.

I feel sorry for anyone who still supports the president after this. Are the american people really so gullible?

What's the big deal really?

We see tons of bill boards with men in nothing but underwear and THIS is an issue??
Some people need to take their head out of their ass...
It's not like he's naked, he's in his SKIVIES!!! He's human...FFS...

I dont think people are objecting on the grounds of taste! They are objecting cos it violates the Geneva Convention which is pretty serious (unless you are so powerful international law cannot be enforced against you...)

Switch him to a captured US female troop in her bra and panties on the front of every Arab Newspaper and Station with her face in full view and her name. Ok now? And before you say he'd do it to us... if we start doing what he'd do would that be good?

So let's see here, according to Murdoch who's two tabloids published the photos of Saddam, they received these photos by paying a U.S. military official, hoping this would deal a "body blow" to the insurgency (which of course backfired, yet again):

Hard to tell whether or not the Administration was behind letting these go through. Regardless, what idiot would think this would actually quell the insurgency?

You forgot to add she'd probably be dead as well...

That's what I was thinking; who's hairbrained idea was this?
Looks like any ole shot would have been taken by the papparatzzi to me; maybe he has fans that have a 'right to know'?

Absolutely!
Does Saddam appear dead? He looks liked every other prisoner being held in the U.S.
Three square meals, probably an exercise room with access to books and whatever else...what's the concern really? That he's not in his suit, smoking cigars and playing Xbox?
Come on...
