AP: Navy Probes New Iraq Prisoner Photos
2004-12-04
The MSM has struck paydirt again after carefully searching the entire internet
The U.S. military has launched a criminal investigation into photographs that appear to show Navy SEALs in Iraq sitting on hooded and handcuffed detainees, and photos of what appear to be bloodied prisoners, one with a gun to his head. Some of the photos have date stamps suggesting they were taken in May 2003, which could make them the earliest evidence of possible abuse of prisoners in Iraq. The far more brutal practices
What brutal practices? Forcing prisoners to look at Lynndie England?
photographed in Abu Ghraib prison occurred months later. An Associated Press reporter found more than 40 of the pictures among hundreds in an album posted on a commercial photo-sharing Web site by a woman who said her husband brought them from Iraq after his tour of duty.
dumb. DUMB Folks. Let's get rid of this stuff for send it to JAG today.
It is unclear who took the pictures, which the Navy said it was investigating after the AP furnished copies to get comment for this story. These and other photos found by the AP appear to show the immediate aftermath of raids on civilian homes. One man is lying on his back with a boot on his chest. A mug shot shows a man with an automatic weapon pointed at his head and a gloved thumb jabbed into his throat. In many photos, faces have been blacked out. What appears to be blood drips from the heads of some. A family huddles in a room in one photo and others show debris and upturned furniture.
LLL-MSM field day coming. Thank goodness the election is over.

#6  Answers to this problem would be no prisoners and no photographers.

#5  Do these soldier's think they are ABOVE the LAW?

Well hey, what's a few sawed-off heads, dead Iraqi police officers, or suicide-bombed U.S. soldiers? Those insurgent-types aren't such bad people, really....

While various groups and individuals needlessly wring their hands over this whole bullshit "abuse" idea, Zarqawi and his cohorts are laughing their heads off over the abnormal amount to attention being given to it.

#3  Again this is unfortunate- Those parties involved are going to pay a heavy price during the court martial procedure. What is the point?
Do these soldier's think they are ABOVE the LAW?

If I marched in their boots- I would say "lets make a deal". To eerr is human- this is beyond an eerr.

#2  Jihadi wank videos of beheadings don't seem to get much attention anymore. I guess the press figured out they piss us off too much.

#1  2 photos are attached to the article. I say Fuck Yeah! Good Job. Baath boy better be thanking Jesus it isn't Saddam's boys wearing those boots. The AP want to see some photos? Google the aftermath of a counter mortar battery or AC-130 strike. Lots of good stuff to titilate the easily offended and give the Muslims a preview of allah's whorehouse.
