Over a month ago, I wrote about the “Cooked Iraqi” photos in the forum which is providing free access to its pornographic content in exchange for pictures of war in Iraq and Afghanistan. The “Cooked Iraqi” photo(s) finally reached the US Army officials. Thanks to the power of blogging.

Today, NYTimes (credit to cecile for the link) published the story (over a month after we did), stating that:

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.

The images are said to come from Afghanistan as well as Iraq. Their authenticity has not been determined.

Paul Boyce, an Army spokesman, said that if soldiers had posted the images, their actions could violate the Uniform Code of Military Justice, which defines conduct unbecoming an officer or enlisted soldier.

Another Pentagon official who reviewed the Web site said it raised questions, as well, of whether the acts could be viewed as a violation of the Geneva Conventions, which set standards for treatment of remains of those killed in a combat zone.

I’m glad to hear this, specially that in last night breaking news, I heard that infamous Lynndie England just got sentenced to three years behind bars for Abu Ghraib abuse.

Hope to see all occupiers “Cooked” in jail.
