Saddam's Photos

Well here is another Who Cares?

So just to make a couple of points, why are people being allowed to bring cameras into areas like this who have no official need? I just don't understand how an environment is allowed to exist where this happens.

Also, will an investigation really find anything? I'm getting really tired of military and government classified information getting out to the press continuously. When I worked for a government agency the warnings about release of materials that were sensitive in some manner were quite dire. All the various leaks I keep hearing about strikes me as strange, especially since you never hear about anyone being punished related to these.

Lastly, the Red Cross spouting about Saddam's right to privacy is pathetic. He's a prisoner of the Iraqi government. There is also no indication that the photos were officially taken by the US government, so why all the screeching about the US violating his rights. Funny how so many were so quiet when ole Saddam was murdering thousands of people in his country. If he's lost a little privacy, who cares? Monsters at his level never valued anyone else's "rights," so why should anyone value his? And don't give me the argument about policy or morals, that just doesn't float. Saddam should receive the same treatment he officially dealt out while he was in power.
