To call this threads "Saddam's Boys" makes them seem like they were small children -- they were not, they were grown adults (maybe not very mature, but adults all the same). It should be called "Saddam's Sons."

As for the pictures, I've finally seen them. They're not very gruesome, at least in my mind. You've got two dead guys who have been punctured by bits of metal. I've said it before and I'll say it again: bits of metal don't care, they'll rip into anyone in their path.

If you want gruesome, consider someone dead of a shotgun wound to the head. Someone with their throat cut so deeply that they are nearly decapitated -- or someone's head thrown through the windshield in a car crash. Ride with a cop or a paramedic to a bad crash -- or sort through a fire that killed a child.

Or consider what those sons of Saddam did to others.

I'm sorry they're dead -- I'd rather they stood trial -- but I can't say that I feel a sense of loss, either.
