Notice who gave the last picture to Reuters.

A detainee at the Abu Ghraib Prison shows his wounds at the detention facility on the outskirts of Baghdad, Iraq Friday, May 7, 2004. He said that he was earlier wounded during fighting between American forces and insurgents. Controversy continues surrounding the treatment of the prisoners last year, when photos were taken showing abuse by American soldiers. (AP Photo/John Moore)

The bodies of three dead Iraqi prisoners of war lay in the bed of a truck in Baghdad, after they were killed by U.S. MPs in an uprising at Abu Ghraib prison late last year, according to a soldier from the 870th MP (Military Police) unit that supplied this photograph to Reuters. Three U.S. military police who served at Abu Ghraib said on May 6, 2004 that they had witnessed unreported cases of prisoner abuse and that the practice against Iraqis was commonplace.

Isn't that something. So, are the pix from one soldier?! What's the point of the picture of someone's awful scar? Obviously, they were provided medical treatment. This could be one person releasing pix in opposition to the war. Another thought, does Rueters pay for pictures? Now that might explain alot.
