WASHINGTON -- The Army is investigating complaints that soldiers posted photographs of Iraqi corpses on an Internet site in exchange for access to pornographic images on the site, officials said Tuesday.
An Islamic civil rights group said it wrote to Defense Secretary Donald H. Rumsfeld objecting to the practice, which it said may violate international laws of war, and urging the Pentagon to bring it to an end.
'This disgusting trade in human misery is an insult to all those who have served in our nation's military,' Arsalan Iftikhar, legal director for the Council on American-Islamic Relations, said in his letter to Rumsfeld.
Bryan Whitman, a spokesman for Rumsfeld, said the Pentagon had recently become aware of Internet postings and is looking into it."

And the Pentagon has decided to move only after all that time. On the site NTFU there are 140.000 registered users. And on cbs4 in Denver I heard a military saying "they are just few of them..."
