British tabloid publishes photo of Saddam in underwear

Friday, May 20, 2005

BAGHDAD, Iraq (AP) - Some Iraqis say they're upset with photos showing an imprisoned Saddam Hussein wearing only underwear. Others say it's what he deserves -- at the very least.

The photos were published today in a British tabloid, "The Sun." And Arab satellite networks have been televising the images to the people in Iraq.

One businessman in Baghdad calls the images an "insult" to Iraq's former president. And he says, "Saddam is from the past now, so what is the reason for this?"

One Kurdish resident was less sympathetic, noting that Saddam's regime was bloody and carried out mass killings.

The Sun says it got the photos from "U.S. military sources."

But the U.S. military says the pictures violate military guidelines "and possibly Geneva Convention guidelines for the humane treatment of detained individuals."
