After Obama said he would keep these photos from emerging, it seems they have done just that; emerged.

I am sure these photos will be seen all over southeast asia, as well as the rest of the world. Expect extremist recruitment to hike again.

Those looked the old photos from years ago that had already been published?

Those are the old photos from Abu Ghraib. They were in the news pretty heavily the first time.

Ah, I didn't realize that. The headline was on Drudge, the new photos were shown on OZ TV

My question is , why were photos being taken in the first place? Who was taking them, and why were they not destroyed?

I think part of the plan has always been to make America look like shit and hated by the rest of the world. It makes us easier to bring down and causes a lot of self-doubt. Think about all the Americans who can't differentiate between the FORM of government our founders gave us and the PEOPLE who have hijacked our government. Many of these now are falling for the pitch for world government; instead of wanting to throw out the hijackers and reinstate constitutional government.

That's been my question all along. Why the hell was someone taking photos of people being tortured?

My guess

My guess is that much of the torture was based on humilitation and religious impropriety. By taking pictures and showing them to the prisoners and threatening to show them to the outside world, the torturers could make the humilitation and religious violations worse.

From the looks of those photos, it seems they were taken by the people doing the dirty work. It would appear they wanted to have the photos for personal reasons, perhaps to send home to friends so they could brag about what they were doing.

I said friends, not family.

So who is the woman in that photo holding a 'thumbs up' to? Is it intended for the photographer or perhaps to the official who ordered the photo to be taken?

I seriously doubt the photo was officially ordered to be taken. This is why it is my theory, these photos were taken privately and then leaked out to the press.
