Reuters never quits it's anti-American slant. Which is picked up by our media. CNBC featured this story quoting a couple of Saudis as the voice of all muslims. There were no stories like this from them when Arab TV was showing pictures of dead Americans. The media war is the bigger of the two. TV images of sons shock many Arabs Broadcast of corpses called a sacrilege Televised images of the bodies of Saddam Hussein's sons shocked many Arabs, who said Friday that it was un-Islamic to exhibit corpses, however much the brothers were loathed. ARAB AND OTHER international networks showed the bodies identified as those of Odai and Qusai Hussein laid out at the makeshift airport morgue, their faces partly rebuilt to repair wounds. "Although Odai and Qusai are criminals, displaying their corpses like this is disgusting and repulsive," Saudi civil servant Saad Brikan, 42, said in Riyadh. "America claims it is civilized but is behaving like a thug." Another civil servant, Hasan Hammoud, 35, said: "America always spoils its own image by doing something like this. What is the advantage of showing these bodies? Didn't they think about the humanitarian aspect? About their mother and the rest of their family when they see these images?" msnbc.com
