Yes, the photographs and videos of the dead bodies of Saddam's sons are out. What we have now is a raging hypocrisy on the part of America. Back in the "war," Iraqis aired pictures of our dead soldiers, and we protested of the action, of course - although now we have our own pictures, aired on an even greater scale. Some Iraqis wanted proof of their death - but did we really have to upset much of the Arab world in showing them?
http://slate.msn.com/id/2086023/ - "The military claims that the publication of Odai's and Qusai's photos was necessary in order to prove to the Iraqi public that the pair were dead. But as Explainer noted in March, the Geneva Convention prohibits the public airing of pictures that might humiliate a combatant—the same justification the United States used to object to broadcasting interrogations of American POWs"
