"The official said suggestions had been made to display the torture equipment in a museum, but there had been no final decision."
Sounds like a great idea to me!

The photos of Uday and Qusay laying face up on slabs after their shootout, brings justice and comfort, somewhat.

Here's a 30 second streaming video, from japanese tv today, that shows the public showing of these ghastly tools. They said female athletes were also tortured by Saddam's sons:
