ABC News' Jennifer Parker Reports: Canada's top news magazine has caused a stir with a provocative cover depicting an image of President George W. Bush dressed as Saddam Hussein -- complete with the former Iraqi dictator's mustache and beret.
The controversial headline to the September 20th Maclean's cover reads "How George Bush Became The New Saddam Hussein," and accompanies a story by freelance writer Patrick Graham about how the Bush administration has decided to embrace former members of Hussein's Baathist regime -- once considered insurgents by the administration -- in an attempt to ward off Iran and al-Qaeda.
"It's certainly a provocative cover and it's meant to draw attention to the story itself," said Suneel Khanna, Maclean's magazine's director of communications.
Khanna said "there's definitely been a lot of noise in the public space about the cover," with liberal blogs championing the story and conservative blogs arguing the story has a liberal bias.
