In the news media, OkieMinnie Me has an interesting if not surprising post on choices is journalistic reporting. To quote:

In video yet to be broadcast by any U.S. outlet, Hussein torture victims are shown being flogged and having fingers chopped off. One detainee is filmed as he is thrown from a roof, another beheaded by a sword-weilding member of Saddam’s elite Fedayeen unit.

According to the Post, video of the beheading shows a man placing the severed head on the victim’s prone body. Another scene shows a man’s tongue being cut out.

As NewsMax.com reported on Sunday, other gruesome images from the embargoed video include scenes of Kurdish detainees being castrated and babies being gassed to death.

Well, if Saddam did it, that’s ok. Only newsworthy if it can be shown to be Bush’s fault. Give them time. Somehow, someway, someone will find a way to blame it on Bush. Until then, don’t expect to see these videos.
