Of course, you're right that the presence of cameras, and not the organized torture of prisoners, is the problem.

UPI reported today that Rumsfeld has banned picture phones in Iraqi prisons:
- Washington, DC, May. 23 (UPI) -- U.S. Defense Secretary Donald Rumsfeld has banned cellphones equipped with cameras throughout the military, an Australian newspaper reported Sunday.
The Business newspaper said a Pentagon source said the Defense Department believes some of the photographs taken within the Abu Ghraib prison of abuses were taken with cameraphones.
For now digital cameras, camcorders and cellphones with cameras have been prohibited in military compounds throughout Iraq but a complete ban throughout the military is in the works, the report said.
Mark Kleiman thinks it's a hoax.
