"It is a breach of Geneva Convention? Yes indeed, POWs have NOT to be shown in TV"
And in the WTF catagory..
EDIT:
"against insults and public curiosity"
To me that sounds more like don't be sticking them in the stockades for people to laugh at, not a one minute clip of random soldiers being led away.
Anyway:
"Illuminating the hypocritical nature of the sec. of defense and our own media (Paula Zahn on CNN the morning the men and women were shown on video saying "this is ghastly and disgusting." yet cuts to our own footage of us leading iraqi troops away.)"
I think the point here was the killing POWs vs well, not killing them or treating them that badly.
"And loudly proclaming how many troops we've captured, and how well we are treating them, in comparison to the people still detained at guantanomo bay or the possibly hundreds we've killed in afghanistan."
The definition of treated well from a criminal and a POW are somewhat different. POWs don't get access to lawyers, which is what the complaining in the cuba base was about. And killed..hello, you do military operations, people die. Sort of a fact of life.
