AP: ABC Airs Troops Posing With Body Photos

NEW YORK - Photos of two American soldiers posing with thumbs up near a body packed in ice at Iraq (news - web sites)'s Abu Ghraib prison were shown on ABC-TV.

The photos showed Army Sgt. Charles A. Graner Jr. and Spc. Sabrina Harman, both of whom have already been charged in the prisoner abuse scandal.

They also were shown Thursday on the Arabic TV station Al-Arabiya.

The detainee, whose badly bruised corpse was in a body bag packed with ice, died in the prison's showers while being interrogurated by the CIA (news - web sites) or other civilian agents, ABC reported Wednesday. It said the Justice Department (news - web sites) is investigating the death.

-- How much worse will this get? Why wouldn't the DoD and Bush just release everything instead of letting this drip, drip, drip?

1. 1,798 to go

Another example of the extreme ineptitude of this administration. Rather than release all the photos at once, they are content to let them dribble out from now until November. Brilliant!

2. Unfuc*ingbelievable. And people still support this war and Bush?

3. They can't see past the nose on their face. The longer this drips, the

longer the story stays alive. The republicas are already bitching that this is taking to long, the senate is just in awe over the cameras with the public hearings and they just can't believe we are pulling generals out of the theater to investigate this matter.

As far as I am concerned, the longer this story drips, the better. It is the only way we will get to the truth.

4. Maybe There Were Too Many Photos

For the DoD to release. I'm certain that more than a few individuals were involved in the abuse and probably a lot more in the cover up.
