The US military has strived to keep the pictures out of the public domain fearing it could inflame feelings at a time when anti-Americanism in Afghanistan is already running high. [snip] In a statement, the army said it apologised for the distress caused by photographs "depicting actions repugnant to us as human beings and contrary to the standards and values of the United States".

The way this reads, reminds me of that great movie with Tommy Lee Jones and Samuel Jackson, where Jackson was accused of mowing down defenseless civilians. A Clintonista type SecDef of course was in charge of fabricating and destroying evidence................

A very believable film unfortunately.............

...that entire miserable excuse for a country should have been turned into a glowing sheet of glass on 9/12/2001.

Terrorists ARE "civilians".

They do not generally wear uniforms, do not carry arms openly (when we can see them), try to blend in with noncombatant women and children.

When looking at a picture of a dead man (or dead woman or teen, considering that terrorists are not exclusively adult males) how do the reporters KNOW that they are "innocent unarmed civilians"?

“What’s more, in the dark halls of Abu Ghraib and the detention cells of Guantanamo, we have compromised our most precious values. What could have been a call to a generation has become an excuse for unchecked presidential power. A tragedy that united us was turned into a political wedge issue used to divide us.” -Senator Obamaa

I’m not buying any of this.

Remember, that scumbag Time “reporter” Tim McGirk believed what he was told by an insurgent propagandist and a squad of Marines (Haditha) ended up being forced off the battlefield and into the courtroom. They were all exonerated, of course, with the exception of one Marine whose trial has been delayed for years and is now scheduled for June.

It will be interesting to see if the perfumed princes of the Pentagon go after these guys the same way they disgracefully went after the haditha Marines just because some shaky foreign “source” claims the dead in the alleged photos are civilian casualties.

AMAZING! This was a week ago and its already gone. Abu Ghraib was in the news ad nauseum for weeks or even months. Had this been 6 yrs ago you know how the MSM would have handled it. I guess Panties have more news value vs. premeditated murder? Or maybe the MSM has an agenda? Nahhhhhh.
