New photos emerge from Afghanistan

Minutes ago, Michael Yon posted a series of photos on his Facebook page showing what appear to be US soldiers posing with corpses of dead civilians. It also looks like they were abusing the corpses. One person wrote about the propaganda value to the enemy. Yon wrote,
(I) understand what you are saying, but they are already out and trust me -- these will be on all the Jihadist websites very soon. Right now, US commanders need to get these, too. I was actually contacted by people in Afghanistan who want to see these, now.
Update: Here's a link. This is an old story, only the images just came out. It was a lot worse than I thought.

I almost hate the resulting hysteria over this stuff as much as I hate the disgusting actions by the few pervs that did it.

Yon's reporting is top notch...he has gotten the story in Iraq and Afghanistan right every step of the way and has given those that follow him a boots on the ground view of the conflicts.
