I'm sure it's to make the US look like humanitarians, just like you see naked women in African all the time in the press, without any qualms, but never a naked white gal in the US, because that also makes the West look humanitarian.

An old Sociology teacher was the first to point out to me how there are varying standards for depictions of nudity etc. depending on the race & nationality of the person being photographed.
