capricorn Posted June 21, 2007 Report Posted June 21, 2007 The US and Iraqi military found Iraqi orphans kept in squalid conditions. There are very graphic photos of those poor children on the internet that I chose not to link here because they're just too disturbing. Some in the Iraqi government are upset that photos of the orphanage and the children released. It's a sad situation when children are used in the way to score political points. One Iraqi government official said about the US soldiers: “Are they really concerned about how well the children are treated in that shelter, or is it just propaganda for their alleged kindness?” Mahmoud Mohammed Jawad Radi said to reporters after the U.S. military released the photographs. A military statement said the pictures were taken June 10 after U.S. and Iraqi soldiers were tipped off about conditions at the orphanage in the Fajr neighborhood of western Baghdad." http://www.theday.com/re.aspx?re=ae913471-...a8-8f200b699a5c As disturbing as the photos are, they should not be censored. We need to know what is going on in Iraq and these photos provide proof to a situation that would otherwise be classified as hearsay and propaganda by the US and Iraqi military.
