| BAGHDAD (Reuters) - Pictures of the bodies of Saddam Hussein’s sons Uday and Qusay, seen by Reuters on Thursday, show the face and torso of the two feared brothers who are recognizable despite facial injuries suffered by Uday. A U.S. military source showed two photographs of Uday and two of Qusay to an Iraqi Reuters reporter who was familiar with the appearance of both men. Uday appeared clearly recognizable despite a wound that destroyed part of his nose and upper lip. Qusay’s face did not show any sign of wounds. Saddam’s sons died on Tuesday when 200 U.S. troops attacked their hideout in the northern city Mosul with helicopters, grenades, heavy machineguns and anti-tank missiles. U.S. military officers said Uday appeared to have been killed by a bullet in the head, but it was not yet known whether he had been shot by U.S. soldiers or had committed suicide.

| #7 Well, it looks to me like they might be playing possum. Let's run them through Uday's shredder just to be on the safe side. |

| #6 Look, we killed them, no doubt. I see similarities to their real life selves, but I'm not the one to be convinced. What about other photos? Couldn't our guys have shaved them? Those beards make them look like Saudi Mutawas/Afghan Arabs. I just hope we have other stuff that will convince the Governing Council. |

| #5 Uday looks like he gained a lot of weight. Being on the run must have been good for his appetite. |

| #1 FOXNews.com has before and after photos. I tend to favor the after, but that's just me. |
