"We are still weighing the decision," Wolfowitz said at a news conference. But he left little doubt Washington was leaning toward releasing the pictures.
"We are going to make sure the Iraqi people believe us at the end of the day," he said...
Wolfowitz said the United States might have to do something that makes people say "You are giving us all this shocking stuff -- why should our children have to see this on television?"
Another U.S. official, who asked not to be identified, told Reuters the photographs of Uday and Qusay were unlikely to be released on Wednesday, but "there are plans to do so."
"They are pretty bad," the official said of facial photographs he had seen of the two sons
"Standards are different for different regions of the world for television. In the United States, our standards for network television are more conservative than those in other places in the world. Specifically, the Arab world has no problem at all with showing very gruesome photos of human beings," the (defence)official said.
