Do you remember how the US was pilloried for showing pictures of the scumbag Hussein brothers after we offed them? Something about mutilating bodies if I recall:

"Although Uday and Qusay are criminals, displaying their corpses like this is disgusting and repulsive. America claims it is civilised but is behaving like a thug," Saudi civil servant Saad Brikan, 42, told Reuters.

The release of photos was also condemned by Muslim scholars in the Arab world.

"What happened is a mutilation of the dead," Souad Saleh, who sits on a committee entrusted with issuing fatwas at Egypt's Al- Azhar, the world's highest seat of Sunni Muslim learning, said to the Associated Press.

The photographs released on Thursday, 24 July showed bruised and bloodied faces. On Friday, 25 July the bodies lay on gurneys in a joint US Army Air Force morgue at Baghdad International Airport. Their faces had been reconstructed by morticians and medical staff though the rest of their bodies were marked with bullet holes, burns, bruises and scars from previous surgeries.

"Showing them this way just to prove they are dead is the most blatant violation of the sanctity of the body," said Saleh.

What the hell do they call this?

A guerrilla ambush on two vehicles in the Iraqi town of Falluja Wednesday killed four contractors working for the U.S.-led coalition, the U.S. army said.

After the attack, the bodies of the victims were set ablaze and mutilated by a crowd of Iraqis, witnesses said.

That crowd included kids. They then hung a body from a bridge. Peaceful religion my ass. Note the first article above quotes Robert Fisk. Here's more including the lovely words of a twelve year old:

"This is the fate of all Americans who come to Falluja," said Mohammad Nafik, one of the crowd surrounding the bodies.

Some body parts were pulled off and left hanging from a telephone cable, while two incinerated bodies were later strung from a bridge and left dangling there.

A young boy beat one of the incinerated bodies after it was pulled down with his shoe as a crowd cheered.

"I am happy to see this. The Americans are occupying us so this is what will happen," said Mohammad, 12, looking on.

Drudge has much more including links to pictures I won't post.
