SOLEDAD O'BRIEN, CNN ANCHOR: Reporters in Baghdad have been taken to see what the U.S. says are the bodies of Uday and Qusay Hussein, and we are expecting some video from that location to come to us shortly. It's part of the U.S. effort to further sway skeptical Iraqis that the Hussein sons are, in fact, dead.
Harris Whit joins -- Harris Whitbeck, rather, joins us from Baghdad this morning.

Harris -- good morning.

HARRIS WHITBECK, CNN CORRESPONDENT: Good morning, Soledad.

This pool group is standing by at the morgue, which has been set up at Baghdad International Airport. One of the members of that pool is the al Jazeera television network. The U.S. wants to make sure that these pictures, this videotape does get out to the Arab-speaking world, particularly here in Iraq, where many people are skill skeptical about the fact that Saddam Hussein's two older sons were killed during that firefight two days ago.

We're standing by to get those pictures, and we will get them to you as soon as we have them -- Soledad.
