The horror! These are the terrorists who blow up and murder innocent civilians, but we must not photograph them naked and offend their sensitivities!
Actually, I am sure that the main reason for photographing them naked was for identification purposes, to make sure we see any tattoos or scars they have on their bodies.
It is preposterous that some are so concerned about these terrorists dignities.

It would also be useful for documentation of any alleged abuse or torture.

The Libs are OK with organizations like the TSA strip searching and patting down in a very expansive manner ordinary people whose crime is simply getting on an airplane, but God forbid that a terrorist is photographed naked.

Good news! Obama is not at war with Islam so no war crime was committed.

Actually, I am sure that the main reason for photographing them naked was for identification purposes, to make sure we see any tattoos or scars they have on their bodies. To document any change in their bodies after interrogation.

I suspect the photos were taken to show before and after conditions of the physical body.

OK. So, next time, photoshop in a fig leaf over the terrorist privates, then behead them.

Would is be a potential war crime to post the photos on line after a little photo shop work removed their man parts and replaced them with Vienna sausages.

Exactly. It’s probably how we know about the ones we released have reentered the battle and killed Americans. You sure as heck can’t trace them by their names.
