His Underwear....
I cant believe the Sun has done this, this is not right. What about the Geneva Convention? Its not right.
The US military has condemned the publication of pictures showing a half-naked Saddam Hussein in an Iraqi jail as a possible violation of the Geneva Convention.
The photographs in The Sun newspaper, under the headline “Tyrant’s in his pants”, depict the 68-year-old former dicator standing around in his underwear, sleeping and washing clothes. The newspaper said that it obtained the photos from "US military sources" who it claimed handed over the pictures in the hope of dealing a blow to the resistance in Iraq.
“Saddam is not superman or God, he is now just an ageing and humble old man. It’s important that the people of Iraq see him like that to destroy the myth,” the source was quoted as saying. But the US military said today that it was "aggressively" investigating to determine who took the pictures.
"There is an investigation," said US Staff Sergeant Don Dees. "A policy prohibits us from exploitation of detainees and that policy is in place to preserve their dignity." The photos "were taken in clear violation of Department of Defence directives and possibly Geneva Convention guidelines for the humane treatment of detained individuals," a US military statement said.
