It is at least the third time prisoner photos have troubled the Pentagon.

WASHINGTON -- AP
The Pentagon Friday was investigating to find out who took and released photographs of terror suspects as they were flown in heavy restraints to the high-security prison in Cuba.

Four photographs of prisoners -- handcuffed, heads covered with black hoods and bound on the floor of a cargo plane with nylon straps -- appeared overnight on the web site of radio talk show host Art Bell.

"Anonymous mailer sends us photos taken inside a military C-130 transporting POWS," the headline said.

The new photos are the first giving a glimpse into security measures aboard any of the airplanes used this year as prisoners were transferred from Afghanistan and elsewhere around the world to the Guantanamo Bay naval facility.
