More US abuse photos surface

Meddle East Times

The Washington Post said the new images of prisoner abuse were among some 1,000 digital photographs US troops took during their time in Iraq, which included many tourist-like images of soldiers riding camels and standing before mosques.

There are also images of soldiers simulating sexually explicit acts with one another and shots of a cow being skinned and gutted and soldiers posing with its severed head. There are also dozens of pictures of a cat’s severed head, the daily said.

Finally, the daily said, there were pictures of wounded men and corpses, one of which shows a soldier smiling and giving a “thumbs-up sign,” leaning over a gray, decomposing corpse.

I think the pentagon ought to put the pictures up on their website. It ought to be illegal to down load them. Before viewing them the viewer should have to check that he agrees not to download the pictures and understands that it would be a criminal offense that would be prosecuted. That way if the pictures get out, the DOJ and FBI can go out and take down anyone distributing these pictures. However, nobody could say that they were not allowed to see them.
