For the record, the photos appeared in Murdoch's rags both sides the pond--they were also published in the NY Post yesterday.

And considering the Bush White House just sent Laura Bush to the Middle East to lecture everyone about women's rights, I believe it is quite possible that the publication of these photos will again raise the memories of the Abu Ghraib torture of prisoners and those photos of American women soldiers torturing and sexually humiliating Arab men. The fact that the photos are of Saddam won't matter. The association that will be made, particularly outside Iraq, will be that this is the same old shit from the US, nothing has changed since Abu Ghraib, etc.
