theblueraja: It is good you are actually doing something about it.

I've just read the Sun today, it is quite interesting. Floppy hats, badges, guns and vans aside, 2 of the photos the soldiers have no watches on. Now empty supply belts, etc, I can understand, but no watch? A soldier would remove his watch to beat up someone, then put it back on? There is no way an active soldier could be out there without a watch (and they have standard issue ones don't they?)

Also, I thought it was a bit weird the pictures aren't in colour, but put it down to the Mirror's choice of ink because of economy, etc. But apparently the source pictures were in Black & White too. Now if the pictures were taken by digital camera (which they were supposed to have been, as that is what soldiers have out there), surely they would of been taken in colour. An expert has said the absense of colour in his mind, tries to mask the discrepancies in the gun picture. In the urination picture, the hess bag is weaved to allow light through (and the prisoner to see out, which defeats the object of putting a hood on in the first place), and he said the urine was absorbed too quickly into the bag (not totally conclusive IMO, there could of been 2 people urinating), and the shadows are all wrong.

In the last few days, the list of discrepancies seems to be growing quite big, with not a lot being properly debunked.
