Mike, In a few of the cases that the world is bitching about, were done by troops that did not have the time to get the proper training when it comes to handling prisoners. I think that is being rectified now, but the damage has been done. Frankly, where Saddam is concerned, they should have taken his picture down in that hiding hole, and then dropped a couple of grenades in, and say that he resisted arrest.

Geneva convention is all we got for formal wars. These type of insurgencies are different. Our folks seem to be making up new rules on the fly. Oh hogwash. The Geneva Convention works fine in our current conflict. A few yo-yo's were left unsupervised and screwed up. That does not negate the Geneva protocols. By now you should realize all the photos and claims are designed to make us look guilty. Nobody..not you...not MSM...nobody is screaming about the 500-600 Iraqis murdered by insurgents last week. When does MSM began criticising their Geneva Convention violations? Chopping off heads and blowing up women and children must not be as serious as a photo of a man wearing underwear.
