I remember that Bush made a big deal when the American POW’s where shown on Iraqi television being asked questions by their Iraqi captors. Now, apparently it is against the Geneva Convention to show images of POW’s. If this is so…I do remember seeing images of Iraqi soldiers (and civilians) being detained, arrested, handcuffed; usually with a machine-gun bearing American Marine towering over them broadcast on CNN daily, all without any questions being asked about the appropriateness of it.
My question is was showing the Iraqi prisoners against the Geneva Convention. Also, was I the only person to see the hypocrisy behind George W. accusing Saddam of breaking the rules of war, or did the Western media simply ignore this. As an aside, did Arab media pick up on this; or did they ignore it as well?
