More violence is predicted in Iraq following the killing of Saddam's sons. In related news, the U.S. says it has captured the sons' bodyguards who are now talking about the sons' lives on the run since Saddam's defeat. The real question, of course, is whether the bodyguards will lead the U.S. to Saddam. Will Saddam stick around to find out?

Andrew Marshall, a Reuters journalist writes this first hand account of being one of fifteen reporters allowed into an air-conditioned tent to view the restored bodies of Uday and Qusay. According to Marshall, here's what is causing the conspiracy theorists to say the bodies are not really those of Saddam's sons:

U.S. military official said "facial reconstruction" was used to repair wounds, particularly to the face of the elder son Uday, which had disfigured the bodies shown originally to the public in photographs taken by soldiers after the battle.
An uncharacteristic beard on the body of Qusay, seen in those U.S. pictures, had been shaved off, leaving a mustache.

nside the tent, U.S. officials said it was standard practice to use morticians putty to prepare bodies for viewing and was not intended to fool the Iraqi people.

But while it may be common in the United States, the move is unheard of in the Arab world. That could affect Washington's efforts to quash Iraqi conspiracy theories that the bodies are not in fact those of the once powerful and hated sons of Saddam, who is believed to be still in hiding in Iraq.

We're not doubting that those are Saddam's sons. People look different in death and particularly after being embalmed. We've seen too many Six Feet Underepisodes to be repelled or think it's unusual. Not to mention, DNA tests were reportedly done on the pair.
