Saddam Hussein/Forrest Tucker: Separated At Birth?

After Abu Gharib, Guantanamo, shipping detainees off to torture-friendly regimes so we keep our hands "clean", one could have expected this was coming...

Now, what is one to make of this? I think it's interesting that the publications which broke these pictures were both Rupert's organs of filth in the U.K (Sun) and the States (Post). Before I get all tin-foil-hatted, though, blame needs to be placed where it belongs - who the hell is guarding him? David LaChappelle?

Of course, any rational person who sees this as the embarrassing episode it is will be tarred and feathered by the Sabbath Gasbags® in charge of the GOP and their lickspittle grunts in the 101st Fighting Keyboardists...witness this charming bit of fascism from the Sun's editor (bold is mine):

"They are a fantastic, iconic set of news pictures that I defy any newspaper, magazine, or television station who were presented with them not to have published," he said. "He's not been mistreated. He's washing his trousers. This is the modern-day Adolf Hitler. Please don't ask us to feel sorry for him."

Yeah, douchebag....the way to deal with the modern Hitler is to publish a picture of him in his tighty-whiteys so you and your fellow thigh-rubbers can have a grand third-grade giggle while insulting Arabs around the globe.
