These pictures are suppose to be from the soldiers.

Snip
THE US Defence Department has been asked to investigate a website being used by American soldiers to post grisly pictures of Iraqi war dead.

The site, which has been operating for more than a year, describes itself as "an online archive of soldiers' photos".

Dozens of pictures of decapitated and limbless bodies are featured on the site with tasteless captions, purportedly sent in by soldiers.

Captions include "plastic surgery needed", "road kill" and "I said dead".

Australian expat Iraqis, most of whom supported the overthrow of Saddam Hussein, have been angered by the website and called on the US government to ensure it was taken down.

1. I looked at the site last night
Edited on Sun Jan-30-05 02:22 AM by Kali
It had about 2 or 3 pretty gruesome pages of photos of dead bodies, some with captions out of about 64 pages other photos showing everything from daily life to explosions, sunsets, kids, camels etc. In my opinion the captions were tastless and disrespectful of the dead, but no more so than sites like rotten.com or the like.

Sometimes horror is faced more easily with dark, black humor. Not making excuses, but not making crazy accuzations either.

12. The caption just got to me...
Reminded me of being a soldier in the middle of nowhere and feeling so... alone. These poor kids ave been out there so long... but this morning I saw page 56. Speechless. And even more so by their sick captions.

Seymour Hersh said, during his last speech, that one of the mothers of told him that she'd given the military a sweet kid and what they returned to her was a murderer :mad: Just looking at the evolution of these photos shows that.

And yet the Abu-Ghraib 5 will do a little time in jail. Their superiors are protected and will be promoted. And all is ok. Go back to sleep America. The war is just swell!

7. This war is making our soldiers go insane.
We need to bring them home now before they develop a psychopath mentality.
