Mr. Jerkey...You will probably have cause to rethink your statement, if the Iraqi's have harmed our soldiers....

To date, they have NOT allowed the Red Cross even to see them.

If I was held captive by the Iraqis damn right I wouldn't mind being paraded on TV. These prisoners are now known to be alive and in reasonably decent shape. Much easier to abuse and execute a soldier only known to be "missing in action".

Those prisoners WERE known to be alive...

All we know for certain right now is that some American soldiers were captured alive, tortured, killed and their bodies grossly mutilated. Some of their body parts were carried into towns to display and instill fear in others.

I believe the reason they are burying our dead is to hide the mutilation.

It takes very special human beings to carry out such acts. Our troops will not be kind and gentle with them.

"The five POWs have been paraded on Iraqi television in a sickening violation of the Geneva Conventions on war."

What nonsense


What you think of the Geneva Convention articles matters not.

A violation is a violation regardless of what you think.

Apparently, the bodies are now not recognizable but you won't see that on Iraqi TV I guess.
