#1 Choice quote:"Ask you (sic -EI) leader Dr. Ayman Zawahiri about the torture he received in Egyptian jails.."

Zawahiri is the Iraqis' leader?Come again?

#2 Jeez, didn't you think the item just below the main one stating that many of the photos of rapes committed by US troops we have yet to see have been faked and are Al Qaeda propoganda?

I would think in this apparent propoganda campaign someone would be on the lookout for crap like this.

#3 Here are the fake photos that are making the hyper-sensitive Islamists get their knickers in a knot.

#4 Has anyone identified anyone in these photos? Did the General who commented on these photos regard these photos as real without considering who they came from? Have the photos been analyzed to detect out of place pixels, etc? Have the files the photos represent, been analized for their origins?

The photo of the woman? That is the FIRST Iraqi woman with red hair I have ever seen in any setting.

Look at the disclaimer on the site. Jewish pornographic sites for soldiers? JEWISH??

Doesn't it strike anyone as odd that soldiers would be wearing S&M masks in a prison, items known to be used in S&M porn?

Doesn't it strike anyone as odd that soldiers in Iraq are wearing green cammo and not desert cammo?

You will notice the claim about confidential sources. Read: planted.

#5 Also, since when did our armed forces allow BEARDS? And every last one of the men have a supsicious "tan" to them.

#6 One more thing to consider:

If some of these photos turn out to be faked, and I am talking about the pron ones, not the ones with identifiable soldiers making asses of themselves mugging for a camera, but the really creepy ones ( and I think the creepy ones are faked ): That CBS has released them without verifying their authenticity, they are as guilty of disemination of enemy war propoganda, as if they produced them themselves.

I think it is time that Dan Rather and CBS are held to account at the very least for their vacuous news judgement. The same goes for any news outlet which published these photos without making any attempt at verifying them.

Remember folks. No difference. bin Laden may as well have been on CBSs payroll.
