Andrew Sullivan found a site where soldiers trade "trophy" pics of dead Iraqis for access to a forum full of amateur porn (mostly troops sending in pics of their naked girlfriends--Guys sequestered in a desert hellhole like looking at porn--imagine that.). Now our friendly neighborhood drama queen says it's the "next Abu Graib." Cue CNNCBSABCNBCMSNBC and the NY Times.

Pay attention because this may be the next spaz-out coming down the pike from the MSM. I don't think there's a person here with buds in Iraq, who doesn't know that military guys often trade pics and vids of toasted terrorists like morbid baseball cards. This has been going on since the invention of the digital camera. I can remember a frat brother showing off footage he shot of an Apache smoking a bunch of Iraqis during Gulf War I. He set it to a Metallica tune. I didn't run to the UN screaming about the evil American Military, but then I'm not a liberal blogger.

I didn't think Geneva Convention applied to independent terrorists running around blowing people up....thought it was just for Army personnel of the official country against which we have declared war? I could be wrong......

You do realize that any soldier who gets caught having done this is subject to prosecution?

Man, I went to that site for a few moments and now need to go wash my hands! Might as well be called pervs-r-us!

I've seen a lot of solder's personal photo galleries on pbase.com and many have images of dead terrorists after car bombings, some even have photos from the middle of action. I wonder how many solders know the regulations regarding this.

I would be extremely sceptical about believing this to be factual. The internet is an interesting place, with a great deal of anonymity. Anyone can post anything, anywhere, and credit anyone else they want with it. Even if the soldiers actually put pics on the internet, it would be very easy to download pics from one website and post them to another website. This could be completely contrived, even though I doubt the mental abilities of many leftists to come up with such a scheme. Only thing is, evil knows no bounds.

That is pure B.S. Never in all my years of service have I ever observed anything like that, heard of anything like that.
Quit slamming our servicemen.

With three combat tours in Nam I never understood the fascination with taking these kinds of photos. I have spent thirty plus years trying to forget most of what I saw, why would I want photos of dead men. Not something I would want to show my family and friends.
