It is true enough that it would not be surprising if he were responsible, and I do not consider the mistake appalling either, but I do think that she expressed herself infelicitously.......

The display of the dead bodies of our enemies, is yet another violation of the Geneva Conventions. Remember how Americans felt, when the Iraqis showed pictures of our captured and dead soldiers recently? Rumsfeld said that was a violation of the Geneva Conventions, and called it "another crime by the Iraqis". Remember the anger, when our dead soldiers in Somalia in 1993 were shown? The (Geneva) conventions go on to require that "prisoners of war must at all times be protected, particularly against acts of violence or intimidation and against insults and public curiosity." It is the "insults and public curiosity" phrase that some say was violated by the airing of the videotape. 216.239.53.104
