I don't know who was stupid enough to take or release those "Saddam in his underwear" photos, but it's bad for America. Saddam may not have had many friends in the Middle East, but I suspect plenty of people are going to be pissed off by those photos anyway.
About the only good thing that I see coming from this whole mess is at least it's driving the whole Newsweek Koran/flushing thing off the radar screen.
