It has been revealed that ‘The Sun’ made illegal payment to US serviceman to obtain Saddam’s picture while in US captivity. British Labour MP, Chris Bryant, has told the House of Commons that the Sun newspaper has paid a substantial sum for the picture of the Iraqi dictator in his under-pant while he was an American prisoner of war. This picture, many will remember, appeared on the front page of the Sun magazine, with the caption ‘Inside Saddam cell.’
In the meantime we also remember how George Bush was screaming with fury for showing some of the captured US soldiers on the Iraqi TV during the invasion, quoting it as a ‘violation of Geneva convention.’ All these conventions and even the International Criminal Court in The Hague are meant only for weaker countries and not for those high and mighty countries who are the actual abusers of human rights, if not the worst abusers in the world.
However, it is on record that George Bush ordered an inquiry into the publication of this infamous picture of Saddam in under-pant, but until now nothing came out of it. The issue was buried alive as much as the fate of the deposed Saddam! — S.H. Moulana, Riyadh
