For a paper that prides itself on the speed of its response to breaking news, the London Evening Standard seemed woefully sluggish today.
Perhaps the pictures of Saddam Hussein's court appearance came through just after the paper was put to bed because the Standard's West End Final featured an old library shot of the former Iraqi dictator (or at least the copy I picked up way out in west London did -- perhaps the commuter editions managed to get the historic photos.)
Either that, or the Standard's picture desk needs to work on its videograbbing.
Whatever the reason, it was a poor show by the Standard.

Maybe they did it because there isnt a way to get non-censored pictures. Most Newspapers took the TV-Shots.
