Saddam To Sue Over Prison Photos

The BBC reports that Saddam Hussein plans legal action after a British newspaper published photos of him in his undies:

"We will sue the newspaper and everyone who helped in showing these pictures," said Saddam Hussein's chief lawyer Ziad Al-Khasawneh, speaking from Jordan.

According to the BBC, The Sun quoted US military sources who said they handed over the pictures in the hope of dealing a blow to the resistance in Iraq:

"It's important that the people of Iraq see him like that to destroy the myth," the paper's source was quoted as saying.

But of course publishing these pictures of the vicious tyrant, who murdered thousands of Iraqi men women and children, is somehow offensive:

Khaled al-Maeena, the editor of Saudi Arabia's Arab News told the BBC the photos would be seen as "an insult and an affront".

Saddam should get his day in court for his undies picture when Saddam's victims get their day in court.

Damn, Iraq is getting more like America every day. Next thing you know they'll all be on the South Beach diet provided it passes muster with their therapists.
