If there's no serious dispute, shouldn't it be relatively easy for the webmaster to provide some facts about the photos? I checked the sources on Fisk's site (including Al-jazeera), and found almost no information from these as well.

Understand: I am not saying that Coalition forces in Iraq have caused no civilian casualties - this is war, and it is an ugly truth that civilians die. However, to post a bunch of gruesome photos and make an unverified claim that they depict "victims of Anglo-American aggression" is misleading and irresponsible.
