"Someone committed the abuse, and someone photographed it, and someone sent it out on the Internet. And none of those "somebodys" were the media."
You're partially right. The abuse from the US prison guards was absolutely wrong. It was/is under investigation by the military. It was disgusting. However; a beheading caused by the non-stop media attention was the result of that, I really believe.
The media was wrong in my opinion, to keep playing it over and over.
From what I understand, no one actually has stepped up to the plate and said THEY supplied the photos to CBS, who first reported it.
I heard some rumor they first appeared on a porn site. Don't know if that's true. I guess that's what you mean by first appearance.
In reality, first appearance in mainstream media was by Dan Rather, CBS and the torch was lit.
