U.S. TROOPS USE PHOTOS OF IRAQI CORPSES TO ACCESS PORN
CAIR calls for Pentagon probe, says practice may violate international law

(WASHINGTON, D.C., 9/27/2005) - A prominent national Islamic civil rights and advocacy group today called on the Pentagon to probe allegations that American troops in Iraq are using photographs of Iraqi corpses as "currency" to gain access to Internet pornography.

The Council on American-Islamic Relations (CAIR) said the grisly practice, which the Washington-based group says may violate international laws of war, came to light in recent media reports.

According to California's East Bay Express: "The captions that accompany these images, which were apparently written by the soldiers who posted them, laugh and gloat over the bodies. . .One soldier posted three photographs of corpses lying in the street and titled his collection "DIE HAJI DIE." The soldiers take pride, even joy, in displaying the dead."
