Why don't we just put his head on a pike?

This is really disgusting. No only did we beat them, apparently we also joined them. Releasing graphic photos of the corpses of the two sons of Saddam as some sort of "looky what we did, aren't you scared of us now?" kind of thing is behaivor I'd expect of a tinpot dictator. Oh wait...

While the U.S. military has historically been reluctant to release photographs of people killed in combat, the images were released by the provisional authority in Iraq to overcome widespread Iraqi skepticism that the Hussein brothers were dead.

The gruesome photographs were immediately broadcast by the Arab satellite channels al Jazeera and Al Arabiya across the Arab world.

But reporters in Iraq said the reactions to the photographs were mixed, with several Iraqis maintaining they were still unconvinced by the photographs. Several Iraqis expressed disappointment that Saddam's sons, who have been accused of human rights and war crimes, were not captured alive.

Qusai and Odai Hussein both escaped easy, and the Iraqi people they terrorized will never get to see them get punished for thier crimes

*ADDENDUM** I like this quote from former CIA Director James Woolsey in this CNN.com article.

"Normally, we would not do this," he said. "But I think it's necessary for the world to see and particularly for the Iraqis to see that these two are, in fact, dead, that this is not some ginned-up story from the United States."

Why oh why would the world suspect the United States of attempting to sell the world a ginned-up story I wonder? This whole war has damaged the credibility of the US to such an extent that nobody knows whether or not we're actually crying wolf anymore.
