this is really bad

Here's what I find most interesting about that story.

Wilson did not speciffically ask for dead body shots to get a free membership. He asked for photos of 'life in Iraq'. This is what soldiers chose to send.

I've said it before. The things people are asked to do in war will make them crazy.

For the record, I don't really care about the porn part. People under no stress whatsoever look at all kinds of porn all the time. I've no doubt people seperated from their partners and under unimaginable stress want to look at it even more.

It's the using photos of mutilated corpses as currency that's insane. I'd think it was just as nuts if they were trading them for gum or cigarettes (and I'd put money on the table they do) .

If this story finally gets some US press (and I hadn't heard anything about it), you can our government will take action. They'll cut off soldiers access to the internet, take away their digital cameras. But the mutilated bodies will still be there, even if no one trades pictures of them for porn.
