The Daily Beast have a story up about Saddam in his Y-fronts: http://www.thedailybeast.com/articles/2012/11/18/did-news-corp-illegally-purchase-saddam-hussein-photos-from-u-s-officials.html quote:The problem for Murdoch and the board of News Corp. may be that these pictures were published on both sides of the Atlantic on the same day, perhaps suggesting some kind of advance co-operation between the American parent company and the British News International subsidiary. If there is any evidence that there was prior knowledge by senior executives of payment for the pictures, this could bring the possibility of a U.S. investigation and charges with stiff penalties for illegal payments to public officials.

From the Grauniad story:quote:News Corp said it stood by its decision to publish, saying efforts to highlight the story and link it to ongoing anti-corruption investigations in the US and the UK were just "a lame attempt to regurgitate old news". Yeah, drat those people who just won't give over about illegal activities. quote:A spokesperson added: "We didn't believe then, and certainly don't believe now, that it was wrong to acquire and publish newsworthy photographs of a notorious war criminal." I'm glad they took the decision to acquire and publish the photos as I had no idea that a notorious war criminal would have worn underpants. I just wish that The Sun had managed to get photos of Slobodan Milosevic to see if he was more of a boxer short kinda guy. http://www.guardian.co.uk/media/2012/nov/19/saddam-hussein-underpants-news-corp
