The CIA took naked photographs of people it sent to its foreign partners for torture, the Guardian can reveal.

Some human rights campaigners described the act of naked photography on unwilling detainees as a potential war crime.

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.

OMG, I'll wager they also fed them non-halal food and didn't give them prayer rugs...Bastards! </sarc>

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

ISIS videotapes people getting their heads cut off...gee, this doesn’t seem quite so bad compared to that now does it? BFD!

To document any change in their bodies after interrogation.

It actually makes sense to do so.

[SkyDancer]

The Guardian is a useless liberal piece of trash.

[DoughtyOne]

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

“ISIS videotapes people getting their heads cut off”

Always while modestly attired, don’t you know?

I WANT NAMES. THESE ARE THE PEOPLE I AM COMING FOR FIRST.

[IronJack]

Trying to gin up sympathy for a gaggle of flea-ridden savages. There is nothing you can do to these filth that they don’t deserve.

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

From the UKs own Guardian and our MSN, two very intelligent and trustworthy for accuracy in journalism. <SARC

[usurper]

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.

[b4its2late]

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.

Trump would end the outsourcing of work Americans would do for free. West Virginian coal miners can have a whole new industry.
