Prosecute the Sun and the Post
The New York Post is running a front page photo of Saddam Hussein in his underwear (published earlier by The Sun, in London). They also make attempts at comedic references:
Several parties (e.g., here, and here, for example) have suggested that the release of these photos constitutes a violation of the Geneva Conventions.
If this is, in fact, a potential violation of the Geneva Conventions, then the Post should be held to task. I know that the Post often adds a more conservative voice than some of the more liberal papers, but "freedom of the press" does not offer immunity from "war crimes." Even a conservative voice that violates principles of responsible journalism should be pursued with all the enthusiam that would be employed against the more liberal MSM.
I find it amazing that regardless of the breach of ethics, of good taste, or of the Geneva Conventions - the MSM is given a pass. There should be a clamoring by blogs and by the MSM for an investigation into war-crimes violations by the Post and Sun.
The photos offer the first glimpse of the former despot beyond a brief court-appearance last July.

Hello NorthShoreHI , Als je bij een bank niet slaagt voor een hypotheek heb je dan nog kans op een hypotheek bij bijvoorbeeld postkrediet?
