Is the photograph of Saddam Hussien prancing about in his underwear a violation of the Geneva Convention (Even though it's really funny)?

I'm a stout critic of Guantanamo but I couldn't care less about if a picture of Saddam in his underwear came out.

The same thing with the Koran "desecration". I think some level of psychological coercion must be used in interrogations but with limits when it involves the mental health of the interrogated. The Koran desecration is a perfectly acceptable form of mental coercion. If not, what should they use? The confy couch technique?

It's just another battle in the propaganda war. You can always find some Iraqi who is willing to proclame in front of a camera that it is outrageous and degrading towards the Iraqi people .... and if you ask the interviewed politely he is even willing to call it degrading for the whole Arab nation ánd the whole Islam world.

Was he really prancing? There appeared to be definite waddage on the photos I saw, but I saw no prancing. I would definitely have bought two copies if there had been evidence of prancing.

In the end, the man was a tyrant, and most of us couldn't care less about his blushes. The one good thing about The Sun is that it treats all authority figures with the same disrespect, from Jacques Delors through Paddy Pantsdown to John Major's y-fronts to here. What is Saddam going to spend his libel winnings on, anyway - a thousand packets of rizzlas?

One thing made me laugh, though: the way the US army immediately began spinning that this was the work of a civilian. In reality, you can lay odds of 10 to 1 that this is the work of another degenerate military policeman.

If you truly believe that the photo was "damn sexy," then I truly begin to wonder what this world is coming to. If that's the way you swing, then I guess that's your problem, but it still is a disturbing view of the picture!🙂

LOL! Degenerate MPs notwithstanding, Saddam looked a hell of a lot better than when they pulled him out of that spider hole. He's evidently been eating okay.
