Free porn for photographs of Iraqi war dead

I originally saw a similar story on some other site last week. I was wondering when somebody like the the NY Times would cover it. And, here it is.

From the NY Times:

The Army has opened an investigation into whether American troops have sent gruesome photographs of Iraqi war dead to an Internet site where the soldiers were given free access to online pornography, Army officials said Tuesday.

Some photographs on the Internet site show people in American military uniforms standing around what appear to be dead bodies. Other photos include graphic images of severed body parts and what appear to be internal organs spilling from bodies onto the ground.


It's not a surprise really. I mean, with the Abugriab scandal and other misc. reports, it's clear that there are many soldiers who do not have any respect for the Iraqi people. But that aside, it does make some interesting news.
