Pictures of Saddam's dead sons...

[Si]

 It seems a bit hypocritical to me for us to get upset with Iraq for showing pictures of our soldiers on Iraqi TV, but then parade them all over the TV screen when we kill two of them.  Couldn't we have just put them on Iraqi TV to serve the purpose of proving to the Iraqis that they are dead?!  What was the purpose of displaying them on US TV???

That was kinda the question of this thread.

they showed them on CNN or MSNBC and then about an hour later they said we aren't going to show them...

I'm not blind...

some people had the tv on, I just came back from breakfast...

and then the next day they showed them in the morg(sp?) too.

Ok.  I'm most assuridly not saying you didn't see it, because I wasn't there and I don't know... but what I will tell you is that all of the news agencies were insiting last week now that they have not and will not show the footage.  Now, I haven't heard or seen anything to indicate that they have changed this stance and I haven't talked to anyone else who has seen them.

Maybe you saw something else?  They have been showing footage of the captured body guard.... WHICH I am THUROUGLY opposed too.

But let me reiterate.... this is not the US Government that is being hypocritical.... it is the us NEWS AGENCIES.  And i would NEVER deny that they are shady.

Um.  Joe's right on this one.  They were showing them all over the TV.

Well, based on what I just read, I find it fairly repulsive that some US media outlets would show this kind of thing.  Releasing them in Iraq is defensible, releasing them in the US is not.  While technically not against international law to do so, I still dont approve.

Not like W cares about MY approval anyways.....
