Couldn't they have found a person or small group of people that are trusted by the middle east and asked them to to view the bodies in private and confirm the identities? Surely there must be some leading figure in Saudi or Kuwait or occupied Iraq or somewhere who would a) recognise the corpses and b) be believed by the majority of Iraqis.

I heard that Al-Arabiya or Al-Zajeera interviewed the former iraqi head of intelligence to confirm the bodies, and that he said that he's very skeptical.

I suppose that's as close as you can get to having an official examine the bodies.
