What pisses me off is that Newsweek is supposedly a U.S. Publication. Other than that we can't really expect our enemies to like us any more than we like them.

Think back to the beginning of the war. The Iraqi showed POW's on TV. IMHO they weren't being exploited, in fact their appearance was a favor in as much as it showed them alive. Yet we cried "Foul" and breach of Geneva conventions!! The pictures we now see of Saddam are much worse. Even though the publication was not authorized we can expect our enemies to make the most of them.
