The ATTACH tags can only be used within the post that the image was directly uploaded to. To display the same attachment in other posts, you have to use its URL inside IMG tags instead.

For example, that image is redisplayed like this:

http://www.wilderssecurity.com/attachment.php?attachmentid=194558&stc=1&d=1193775325

In order to get the URL, just go to the original post where the attachment is showing as an image, right-click it, and copy the URL from the properties.
