If you don't have the images blocked through Brief's CSS Editor or by using a custom stylesheet, then do you have the images blocked through an ad-blocker like AdBlock Plus?

Re: Images no longer shown for CNet Crave Blog
Tried all of that, but to no avail.
In firefox's XML feed preview all the images are loaded. But in breif some pictures are shown (e.g. for 'Windows 7's Aero in pictures') and others are not (e.g. for GE shows off pocket-size ultrasound scanner).
So I had a glance at the XML and discovered the following:
Images that were shown are of the form: <img src="http://i.i.com.com/cnwk.1d/i/tim//2009/10/20/win7defaultdesktop_88x66.png" />
Images that are not shown are of the form: <img class="cnet-image" src="/i/bto/20091020/vscan_270x231.png" alt="" width="270" height="231" />
(Both img tags were enclosed in CDATA tags in the XML feed).
Threfore the image loading is broken because brief is not handling the relative paths of the second image. "/i/bto/20091020/vscan_270x231.png" should be inturpreted as "http://crave.cnet.com/i/bto/20091020/vscan_270x231.png".
Thanks,
David

Ah, so it was that. The relative URL parsing has been a long standing bug in Brief.
See: Bug 18662 - Relative URLs in articles are made relative to file://
