Yeah, Yoshie, that's way old news, which was posted about on here quite a bit back around the date of the article you just referenced. Included were links to the "Porn in War" and "Iraqi Babes" DVDs, whose authenticity were under question.

But the "pornography of death" thing was apparently popular with Nazis, too:

Pics of Iraqi women raped -- fake?

amateur porn Web site NowThatsFuckedUp.com. For almost a year, American soldiers stationed in Iraq and Afghanistan have been taking photographs of dead bodies, many of them horribly mutilated or blown to pieces, and sending them to Web site administrator Chris Wilson. In return for permission to post these images, Wilson gives the soldiers free access to his site. American soldiers have been using the pictures of disfigured Iraqi corpses as currency to buy pornography. . . . One of the pictures on Wilson's site depicts a woman whose right leg has been torn off by a land mine, and a medical worker is holding the mangled stump up to the camera. The woman’s vagina is visible under the hem of her skirt. The caption for this picture reads: 'Nice puss -- bad foot'" (Chris Thompson, "War Pornography," East Bay Express, 21 September 2005).
