i'm just saying that all of this whining about treatment of or killing of prisoners really ought to stop...

I mostly agree. We can object to violations of the Geneva Convention, that's appropriate. Though let's be "equitable" about it.

I saw two films on POWs. Back to back. The first film was of US POWs, sitting in stuffed chairs, unbound being interviewed by the Iraqi Press. The second film was of Iraqi prisoners wrists tied behind their backs, ankles bound and a rope connecting the wrists to ankles so the POW couldn't stand up and were being interviewed by US forces in a kneeling position on the desert sand.

First film...violation of Article 13; second film...no mention of Article 13. I suppose that means we would prefer that our POWs be treated with the same dignity that the US troops were treating the Iraqis.
