UK troops 'swapped abuse photos'

[maddezmom]

The Mirror rejected allegations the pictures were fake
British soldiers have swapped hundreds of photos showing brutality against Iraqi captives, it has been claimed.
The two soldiers who provided the Daily Mirror with pictures of UK troops apparently abusing a prisoner say "this is not a hoax".

Army sources have raised doubts about whether the images are genuine.

But the two serving members of the Queen's Lancashire Regiment told the paper: "The Army knows a lot more has happened."

One said: "Maybe the officers don't know what is going on - but everybody else does. I have seen literally hundreds of pictures."

4. If this is all true

I wonder what they were planning to do with the pictures. If they brought them home and someone saw them accidently or if they showed them on purpose, how would their friends and family react? I'm so sad. I wonder if they are taking the anger they feel out on these people cuz they can't do anything against the people they are really angry at? They are living in hell doing the work of a devil.

5. I don't dare hope...

That would be sooo wonderful. I know this team would win. I really, really hope it's not Gephardt. I respect him and all that, but I don't think he brings a thing to the ticket. If he did, wouldn't he have beaten Kerry in Iowa? Or at least come in ahead of Edwards. Or Dean.
