Just as a matter of curiosity, could you refer me to section of the Convention prohibiting the display of corpses for purposes of identification?

These "creatures" were not prisoners of war. They were told to come out of the house. Three times. With an Iraqi interpreter present giving the commands. Instead, the odious sons of Hussein started firing on our soldiers.

This story just gets ever more grotesque: <US officials said the bodies, each with more than 20 bullet wounds, had undergone post-mortem "facial reconstruction" to make them appear more like they did in real life.> news.bbc.co.uk That was quick work, very efficient. Think about it; they must have had a plastic surgeon on standby, to get the job done this quickly. They must have anticipated Iraqi disbelief, so they planned ahead, to make the corpses more real, more convincing. Doing surgery on the mangled dead, rearranging the faces so they were more "life-like", so they would serve as better props in the public relations campaign. Yankee ingenuity. We'll use anything, any material at hand, in our propaganda campaign. Another reality show.
