THE US Defence Department has been asked to investigate a website being used by American soldiers to post grisly pictures of Iraqi war dead.

The site, which has been operating for more than a year, describes itself as "an online archive of soldiers' photos".

Dozens of pictures of decapitated and limbless bodies are featured on the site with tasteless captions, purportedly sent in by soldiers.

Captions include "plastic surgery needed", "road kill" and "I said dead".

1. I posted on the GD forum about that website

a while back. The owners/administrators of the website are careful to point out that the captions were written by the troops who sent the pictures.

Some of the pictures of the area, sunsets, soldiers are downright artistic and beautiful. Others, obviously, not so much.

So what, DOD is going to shut down all websites with pictures of Iraqi dead?

See no evil, hear no evil......out of sight, out of mind???
