Navy Probes New Iraq Prisoner Photos
I am tired of hearing about the best and brightest. This is getting old. Now they take out the old, scratchy recording of: "It's just a few bad apples." Now, I support these guys who have the balls to go over into the hornets nest of a war. I don't support the policies that have put them there. I don't support the administration that has lied to them and placed them in harms way. Now we have folks who have been ordered from above to treat these prisoners this way. All reports point to the top and it is these guys that are going to have to pay for doing the job that they were ordered to do. Back to the Best and Brightest, none of them have probably questioned these orders. Now we see more smiling boobs who thank God, aren't faking blow jobs or making these prisoners stand naked. Not that it is in anyway excusable.
Now the wife of the Seal who posted the photos on a publicly accessible photo sharing site, where AP was able to buy reprints for 29ยข each, is upset. Why isn't she screaming at her dolt of a husband for posting his torture pics with the family photos? Don't be upset with smugmug.com, dumbass. Anyway, here we go again, our Best and Brightest in action. God help us and the dumbing down of America.

CORONADO, Calif. (AP) - 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 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. 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.
