The Time reported that is covering it for CNN is embedded and cannot say everything. He went as far towards saying he was muslim as he could.

How will the Army respond?

none of the US media have made a peep about that.


Couldn't say that. Wouldn't be "PC".

American POWs:

The position of the U.S. Government is, that the Geneva Conventions must be followed strictly. I'm listening to Senator Lugar, Chairman of Senate Foreign Relations Committee, saying that any Iraqi who doesn't follow the Geneva Conventions, will be tried as a war criminal.

I wonder how the U.S. government would respond, if the Iraqis said they would follow the Geneva Conventions, but only if we acknowledged the prisoners at Guantanamo as prisoners of war, and accorded them the protections of the Geneva Conventions. And offered a prisoner exchange, our soldiers for the Talibans held at Guantanamo.
