WASHINGTON (CNN) -- The CIA is investigating three cases of prisoner deaths during interrogations in Iraq and Afghanistan.
In one of the cases, two pictures surfaced Wednesday that appear to show U.S. soldiers gloating over a corpse.
Spc. Charles Graner of the 372nd Military Police is seen smiling, giving the thumbs up in one picture. In the other, Spc. Sabrina Harmon, a member of the same unit, is in a similar pose.
The soldiers who appear in them are among those already facing charges in the abuse scandal. The pictures came out following the first court-martial in connection with the abuse.
U.S. officials identified the corpse, which was packed in ice, as Manadel al-Jamadi.
He had suffered head wounds during a struggle with Navy SEALs at the time of his arrest, sources said, and died after CIA interrogations.

Not that they are incapable, but I was caught off guard when I saw the female soldier gloating over it. This is something that deserves an investigation.
