I'll have to do some looking around today. It's even possible that Twitter (or Twitpic or whatever) owns the rights to these photos. Copyright law hasn't caught up to social networking yet. While I'm sure oppressed citizens don't mind their photos being shared (like all the shots out of Iran), someone may one day ask for compensation from a news org for running their photos. @Brian,

Did Reuters pay for them? Is that not an issue because of the undeniable news interest and the difficulty of tracking down the photographers? Can non-clients of Reuters use them? This may be an unusual case, but are Twittered photos fair game otherwise? I’m curious about the rights to these photos. Did Reuters pay for them?
