US presses Uday, Qusay deaths with video
In another controversial move, the U.S. military has released video images of the bodies of two men Washington is intent on proving are Uday and Qusay Hussein.

In addition to the video of the bodies, the U.S. military took reporters and pathologist to see the corpses first-hand.

As proof of Uday and Qusay's death, the military released grisly photos of the two on Thursday. Whether that will be enough to satisfy Iraqis that Saddam Hussein's two eldest sons are gone is still unclear.

Some are criticizing the American government for releasing the photographs, after Washington got upset during the war when images of dead U.S. soldiers were broadcast on some Arab stations.

1. Animated version on the cartoon network at 8:00 tonight
And don't miss: the Dead bodies play cards - each card features a different body part exquisitely fotographed
For the gents, we'll have plaster replicas of their heads to enjoy in your dens above your arms collection!

3. They're already out ...
I went to www.republicansforsharpton.com site this morning and they had a banner ad for "updates" for the Iraq card deck with those 2 pictures.

5. CNN dinner theater
I was at a restaurant last night with my 2 girls. There were many televisions on showing the usual sports and cartoons and then on the BIG screen, there was CNN, showing the video over and over...no one seemed to bat an eyelash. Needless to say, we left in short order. My 12 yr old was astonished at the fact that no one else seemed upset by the video in the least...how do you explain to a kid that the world she lives in is so desensitized to such things, to them it's just another scene from an action movie? It's as another person posted on here, big game trophies to the selected one. I wouldn't be surprised at all for it to some day come out he has photos of himself holding them up by the ankles. Utterly disgusting.

6. How long will they flog these dead horses?
It just seems like the Bushistas are trying to keep these dead guys in the press for as long as possible--these dead bodies aren't for the Iraqis--they are for us.

I agree this is red meat for the masses.

A very primative display.
