#2 And I say that because one of the photos at Fox shows two men who appeared to have been tied up back to back and then shot execution style.

#3 Der Spiegel published photographs depicting actions repugnant to us as human beings and contrary to the standards and values of the United States Army.

In the US we court martial such individuals. In the old Wehrmacht they promoted them. You think they want to be reminded?

#4 I think I'm going to hold off, and wait to see what the justice system determines. It really doesn't smell right.

#5 "These court-martial proceedings speak for themselves. The photos appear in stark contrast to the discipline, professionalism and respect that have characterized our soldiers' performance during nearly 10 years of sustained operations"

#7 Der Spiegel obtained these photos. I wonder where they got them? Is this part of the Wiki Leak release?

#8 I wonder where they got them?

JohnQC, I read something about the accused releasing them, which strikes me as having been unwise. But I don't know if it's true.

#9 One of them may have been born off to the wrong start: Cpl. Jeremy Morlock.

Per Wiki P: Morlocks are a fictional species created by H. G. Wells for his 1895 novel, The Time Machine. They dwell underground in the English countryside of 802701 AD ...

The county I live in has a state hospital for the criminally insane. Many of the inmates have weird-ass names like this.
