Wow. So there are the first American prisoners and Rumsfeld is completely outraged that they're being shown publicly, claiming it would violate the Geneva Conventions. Oh. Come on. And what about the repeatedly shown images of captured Iraqis sitting in barbed-wire-secured areas? What about the images of Al Qaeda members in American camps?
Some American broadcasters don't want to show images of American prisoners or the dead. Great - so we lie even more, we continue pretending that the war against Iraq is just a Disneyland for adults.
Of course, the same broadcasters have no problem showing images of captured Iraqis. And no, of course none of this is war propaganda.
So the Geneva Conventions don't apply to everyone after all. Neither do UN Security Council resolutions, so we shouldn't be too surprised.
