Seymour Hersh notes the existence of some more damaging photos: NBC News later quoted U.S. military officials as saying that the unreleased photographs showed American soldiers “severely beating an Iraqi prisoner nearly to death, having sex with a female Iraqi prisoner, and ‘acting inappropriately with a dead body.’ The officials said there also was a videotape, apparently shot by U.S. personnel, showing Iraqi guards raping young boys.” He goes on to say that Rumsfeld's new vision of the Army set the system up for failure. I hope the Army's solution to all this is more substantial than the severe restriction of its soliders' use of digital cameras.
