Doubt cast on (UK's) Iraq torture photos

[bpilgrim]

An investigation is under way into claims that British troops humiliated and assaulted an Iraqi prisoner before throwing him from a moving lorry.

The claims were made in the Daily Mirror which carried photos allegedly taken during the man's ordeal.

Sources close to the regiment said to be involved have told the BBC they are not convinced the pictures are genuine.

Tony Blair says that if they are authentic it is "completely and totally unacceptable".

1. The problem it creates, is that alot of Americans will just hear...

...the phrase "faked photos", and go on their way thinking nothing ever happened.

though the neoCONs are RUTHLESS they are no dummies - for the most part - coupled with the timming of the story i certainly wouldn't be suprised at all if they were DOCTORED and no one could claim it was the first time.

Tony Blair says that if they are authentic it is "completely and totally unacceptable".
