The Associated Press BAGHDAD, Iraq July 25 — The United States military took journalists to see the bodies of Saddam Hussein's slain sons Odai and Qusai on Friday, part of efforts to dispell doubts that the two were indeed killed.Iraqis debated the validity of grisly photos purporting to show Saddam Hussein's dead sons that were released Thursday. The United States says the two were killed in a Tuesday raid on a house in the northern Iraqi city of Mosul. The photographs were broadcast Thursday by U.S.-sponsored Iraqi TV, CNN and two Arab satellite television networks widely viewed in Iraq....

Secrets of Saddam's family at war From Catherine Philp in Baghdad Escaped restaurant bomb by ten minutes Drove past American patrols in ordinary cars Public prayers at mosque after fall of Baghdad UDAY HUSSEIN’S personal bodyguard broke a three-month silence yesterday to give the first authoritative account of how Saddam and his sons spent the war.

He said that they evaded repeated American attempts to assassinate or capture them,...

<p>July 25, 2003 -- WASHINGTON — The Bush administration is hoping these gruesome photographs will mark a turning point in Iraq.</p> <p>They are the corpses of Saddam Hussein's sons, Uday and Qusay, who were killed in a marathon firefight with U.S. troops in Mosul on Tuesday.</p>

<p>Phony intelligence. Cooked intelligence. Faked intelligence. Sham intelligence. Hyped intelligence. Sexed intelligence. Phrases that have blanketed news coverage for weeks and weeks. Finally, finally -- at long last -- those Mullah-hating, Saddam-bashing White House neo-conners recklessly ruining the lives of innocent dictators for sport, cabaling for evil Halliburton and U.S. Big Oil, were getting their just desserts!</p>

<p>The Pentagon yesterday released some graphic photos of the battered bodies of Saddam Hussein's sons, killed this week in a shootout with soldiers from the U.S. Army.</p> <p>Naturally, some Iraqis and others around the Middle East — a seething cauldron of conspiracy theories — are not convinced that the lads, Uday and Qusay, are dead.</p>

U.S. right to release dead Iraqi images-experts By Mark Egan NEW YORK, July 24 (Reuters) - The release of bloodied, lifeless images of Saddam Hussein's sons by the United States was justified and follows a garish tradition dating back centuries to Alexander the Great, some experts said on Thursday. U.S. officers in Baghdad released mortuary pictures showing Uday and Qusay Hussein in an effort to allay scepticism about their deaths and staunch guerrilla attacks -- a move Secretary of Defense Donald Rumsfeld said was "absolutely the correct decision." "They are now dead," Rumsfeld told a news briefing. "The Iraqi people...

"I've been shown the bodies and they do appear to be those of Uday and Qusay," Reuters correspondent Andrew Marshall said from a...

<p>The Bush administration released photographs yesterday of the mangled corpses of Uday and Qusai Hussein in a blunt message to the Iraqi people that the brutal brothers &#8212; and their regime &#8212; are indeed dead.</p> <p>After debating the issue Wednesday inside the administration, Defense Secretary Donald H. Rumsfeld said yesterday that he took the extraordinary step based on one important calculation: convincing Iraqis that Saddam Hussein's regime is not coming back may ease the fears of people willing to turn in insurgents who are attacking U.S. troops.</p>

<p>International legal and human rights specialists said yesterday that Tuesday's firefight that resulted in the deaths of Saddam Hussein's sons did not violate a long-standing U.S. ban on political assassinations.</p> <p>The wartime setting, the fierce resistance and the leadership roles of Uday and Qusai Hussein in the ousted Iraqi regime made the two sons legitimate targets of deadly force by coalition forces in the shootout, said Steven Ratner, a University of Texas law professor and former legal adviser at the State Department.</p>

Saddam’s Sons Unhappy with Virgins [23/07/03] AFTERLIFE - Saddam Hussein's sons Uday and Qusay died in a 3 hour gun battle with U.S. troops late Tuesday. Terrorist groups supporting the former Iraq regime have long believed that god would compensate the sacrifice of ones own life for his land. In particular becoming a martyr is rewarded by god with 70 virgins. Iraqi loyalist Hathout is expecting some fun in the afterlife The death of the famous ace of clubs and ace of hearts has triggered much interest in the 70 virgins they were to receive. Many of the remaining...

Unless the ghosts of Uday and Qusay Hussein walk hand-in-hand through Baghdad, many Iraqis will refuse to believe they are dead. On the streets of the capital, the release of macabre photographs of the two corpses was greeted with deep scepticism. After suffering decades of propaganda under Saddam Hussein, many people refuse to believe anything they learn from any news media. Instead, they believe reliable information comes only from word of mouth, passed on from friends and relatives. This provides fertile ground for the wildfire spread of rumour and conspiracy theory. Less than 48 hours after the deaths of the...

I knew it. I should have predicted it, but I didn't. Yet it's coming true anyway. The pictures of Uday and Qusay Hussein are out, and already the critics are saying you can't tell anything from these pictures; you can't confirm that these guys are those guys. CNN just ran all over the place with some clowns from Al-Jazeera making that point. Then, later in the day, they got around to calling the Bush administration hypocritical for complaining about the Iraqis releasing pictures of our POWs. This is so pathetic. It is so typical, though. The reason you don't put...

On FoxNews’ Hannity and Colmes show a few days ago, Charlie expressed his anger over the killing of Uday and Qusay Hussein. Charlie believes the killings were illegal, “We have a law on the books that the United States should not be assassinating anybody.” Charlie then went further, “when you personalize the war and you say you're killing someone's kids, then they, in turn, think they can kill somebody.”

BAGHDAD (Reuters) - Iraqis said on Thursday they were not convinced by photographs of the bodies of Saddam Hussein's sons and demanded the corpses should be dragged through the streets as proof the feared brothers were dead. The grisly pictures were broadcast on Iraqi television and international satellite channels, but many Iraqis could not see them because of power cuts plaguing the country. It didn't seem to matter because Iraqis said photographs alone were not enough to prove Uday and Qusay were dead. "Death is not enough. They should have been hung up on poles in a square in Baghdad...
