There's a debate over whether the photos are as bad as or even worse than the Abu Ghraib photos. Either way, this is going to be another blow to the already bad situation in Afghanistan. It's only a matter of time until the disturbing photos - including the alleged murdering of an innocent civilian with a grenade - find their way online.
A group of U.S. soldiers who took pictures of themselves posing with an Afghan corpse were condemned by the military on Sunday after the photos were published by German news organization Der Spiegel.
Cpl. Jeremy Morlock, on trial for murdering civilians while on tour in Afghanistan, can be seen in one photo smiling as he lifts the head of a corpse by the hair.
In another, PFC Andrew Holmes, who served in the same unit as Morlock, poses with the same corpse. Holmes is also charged with killing Afghan civilians.
