Sun publishes another Saddam photo
Reuters ^ | 5/21/05

Posted on 05/20/2005 10:04:37 PM PDT by Crackingham

Britain's Sun tabloid published another picture on Saturday of Saddam Hussein in prison and robustly defended its decision to print such images despite Pentagon claims it may have violated the Geneva Conventions. Britain's best-selling daily newspaper sparked outrage from Saddam's lawyers on Friday by publishing several photographs of the captive former Iraqi leader, including one showing him in his underpants.

U.S. officials promised an aggressive investigation into who was responsible for the photographs, which they believe were taken more than a year ago. They said the images violated Pentagon rules and may have breached the Geneva Conventions.

But an unrepentant Sun followed up with another picture for its Saturday edition showing Saddam in a white robe behind a coil of barbed wire. He holds his palms outstretched and his head is slightly bowed, possibly in prayer.

As humiliating as it may be for Saddam (who cares), it does show he isn't being physically abused.

No one has suggested "photo-shopped"? Computer generated pics? What if? Will newsweak find it worthwhile to report? Smells fishy to me.

I am a dhimmi. I will admit this here before my fellow FReepers.

This weekend will be a series of posts on "Dhimmitude - And the Life of a Dhimmi" - stop by learn more of what you are in store for. This will all be from my first hand experience - what I go through on a daily basis from the moment I wake up until I go to sleep at night!

Learn how why that to accept Islam within your country requires that you sacrifice your freedom - stop by now and read how you are already losing it and don't even realize it.

Stop by now and see how in the fury over the Newsweek article that much of America missed the biggest story - the battle that we all collectively lost when our Secretary of State appeased and pleaded with our enemies that they might show us quarter - and then offered up our freedom in exchange for peace and security?

I urge you to read "Desecration of Freedom" and the other essays concerning the same.

Did you hear Ramsey Clark ranting about Saddam's rights and how humiliating this must be to him? Makes me sick...and about the anger of the Muslims over this? How about the beheading of innocent people? How about the rape and torture of his own people? How about the mass graves? How easily we forget the evil this man has done and the evil of the "peaceful religion"

That photo of Saddam is so creepy, yet hilarious. So good to know that Saddam is aware that he is being humiliated aroung the world.

I am really beginning to think that this year is a year of judgement.

CRIME OF THE CENTURY...

A) Underwear and hazing pictures of POW's.

B) Innocent kidnapped civilians having their heads sawn off while screaming in agony.

C) A war instigated on 911 by flying hijacked airliners full of civilians into building occupied by civilians and killing 3,000 innocent people.
