Will, that question is very easy to answer for anyone
If at the moment people in Iraq suspect there were abuses that are being covered up, they will be far less angry than if they see all of the media photographs of Iraqi citizens being brutalized, tortured and killed. Seeing for themselves the images will create rage, a feeling of national humiliation, and very likely reprisals against western forces, western civilians, or a government that is seen as linked heavily to the West.
(And I dont know what these photo's show, but we all must suspect it is very bad... and will include disgusting violence, possibly even against women or teenage boys)
