When Saddam comes to get them, just throw him in the frig with them, alive.

All these corpse pictures must be really rattling Saddam's cage. I hope he's getting the reports.

Not only are we showing him his dead mutilated kids in front of the world, we are giving Saddam a clear glimpse of his very near future. One of the photos out today looks ALOT like Saddam himself...perhaps no accident.

A British spokesman for the coalition provisional authority said they were still consulting Iraq's governing council and religious leaders about how best to preserve the corpses according to Muslim tradition...

Don't Muslims have a tradition of chopping up the bodies of their victims and using their heads as soccer balls?

They should have had a third empty trolley in line.

Saw the pics on TV tonight. OMG, they were awful, both looked like they had plastic masks on. This will not help this situation at all.

Mr. uvular and I opined that the mutilated bodies should have been displayed in the town square, let the sandals fly in the air.

Anyone in Iraq that had this misfortune to run into these two could have recognized them, bullet holes and all. Many have had to identify family members that were in much worse shape.

Depending on the number of relatives that may wish a memento of the two brothers...

May I recommend the use of a woodchipper and individual baggies for all the bereaved?

Should be very interesting to see if 'relatives' come forth to claim them!

Send the bodies of Hussein's sons to the Palace of Versailles with toe tags signed; "W".

Just wondering: recalling such Hatfill-related threads as http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/f-news/908559/posts, and noting that the FBI hasn't drained any more ponds or run over any more toes lately, how do we know that these stiffs are really Uday and Qusai? They were known to use doubles.

And I couldn't tell anything from the photos, icky though they were. Looks like we or someone shot a couple Iraqis, maybe, that's all I could tell. They could be a lot of people.

Not necessarily challenging Centcom; I would like to believe that they are dead. But it's strange that there's been no DNA confirmation, when the US reportedly has their DNA (had it before, not from this). And a lot about the Saddam hunt and the anthrax mailings in the US has been peskily unresolved.

At this point, I'd like a little authoritative evidence when I'm asked to believe something where Saddam and sons are concerned. We've been asked to believe that these remains are Qusay and Uday. I haven't seen much beyond that other than opinions.

They have used dental records, previous known injuries and tattos for immediate identity. It's them!

Humpday is from Letterman and I can't remember where I first saw Ebay cited.
