First of all, that you want to have a few keepsake snapshots of this sort of thing says alot about your mental state. I mean damn! I wouldn't exactly call these Kodak moments! But that's just me, maybe I'm weird...
And secondly, way to provide perfect incriminating evidence against yourselves for your court-marshalls, morons!

My theory:
The idea is too use the photos as a threat to gain information. Classic Psy-ops- shit no reservist MP is going to dream up. Understanding the psycological make up of the Arab male, with the shame and humilation they would suffer in front of family and peers if the photo's got out of them in the such a weak postion and using that understanding get gather info.
The very incriminating pictures were themselves part of the torure.
