Really interesting case - I think the fact that these were Navy Seals is important, although this may be mitigated by the fact that the wife of said Navy Seal posted the pics on a public forum. I think that if we were talking about anyone other than a covert group, this wouldn't be much of an issue.
Would compensation still come into play with the public nature of the board? If a newspaper finds a photo on a public bulletin board, I'm not sure how compensation would work.
I tend to side with the newspapers more often than not, and in this case I see fault lying with the wife, not with the AP.
