Saddam pictured in underpants

A legal adviser to Saddam Hussein today criticised jailers of the former Iraqi dictator for allowing half-naked pictures of him to be taken.

The pictures appeared today on the front page of The Sun and UK-based Giovanni di Stefano, who says he represents the deposed tyrant, said: "It can't be right, can it, that you put a man in his underpants in the paper."
