#1 More than just injunctive relief, these guys should do their best to hit AP in the pocketbook HARD.

The public has a right to know!

(By public AP means their terrorist allies....)

#3 Perhapes some harrasment of AP reporters wifes buy unknow persons and the release of some of their private (gay sex)photos might enlighten the AP.

#4 Good on you guys - hope you get shedloads of cash from those asshats.

You can find some of the images by googling for 'Seth Hettena' and choosing the link from apnews.myway.com - I'll not do it from here as I don't want to give it more googlejuice. One of the guys faces is very very clear.

The AP blurb says "A photo found posted on a commercial photo-sharing Web site operated by a woman who said her husband brought the photos from Iraq".

I have to ask though, why did she post their photos on her website?

#6 "I have to ask though, why did she post their photos on her website?"

Yeah. That is THE question. As much as I like the SEALS and hate the AP, what exactly is a "private website?"

#7 I wouldn't "really" recommend that you avoid telling the judge you know nothing about the issues when you end up on a civil jury in the case a surviving spouse brings against the AP for actions which contributed to the death of his/her mate. Just check the for the previous record jury award in a civil case to see if you guys can top it.

#8 Much as I'd like to see the AP take it in the shorts, I don't see how the SEALS' case has much to stand on. Posting photos to a website isn't much different than printing out photocopies and handing them out on the street corner. The AP was the second entity to publish the pictures to a public domain, not the first.
