Saddam Hussein capture photos

This set of photographs was sent to the contact address on the News N Shit website back in January 2004. Because the photos were not released by the US Government and were never recognized as official images, they were never published on this site. 2004 was a different time than today and the atmosphere surrounding such things was less than accommodating for publishing unauthorized images. I'll say it, I was scared to post them.

The BBC published an article about the images which had begun circulating through email. Several other sites have also posted the images, but they were never officially deemed authentic. In comparison to many verified images such as the ones in this Newsday photo gallery, they do appear to be legitimate.

There was an additional image in the original set, but it was simply a cropped version of one of the photos you see here. The pictures are being posted now just for the curious and because the files are much higher quality images than BBC or any of the major media sites have published.
