 * This is work of Iraq, not U.S. government. Krzyhorse22 (talk) 01:41, 31 August 2014 (UTC)
 * The work is undoubtedly from Iraq, however the Ba'athist Iraqi regime no longer exists. I'm not familiar with copyrights issued by non-existent governments, especially one deemed to be a rogue state by the international community. Iraq is also not a member of the Berne Convention, therefore the image is in the Public-Domain. The image I uploaded was taken from an affiliate U.S Department of Defense website whose privacy policy states "Information presented on this website is considered public information and may be distributed or copied unless otherwise specified. Use of appropriate byline/photo/image credits is requested." The U.S armed force used this image and countless others in identifying individuals who belonged to the Iraqi government. As there doesn't seem to have been a breach in the terms and conditions, in which it states that material "..may be distributed or copied unless otherwise specified", I don't understand the issue as to why it is being declared a potential unfree image.
