>>>this weekend, Bush administration attempts to make TV say nothing about american prisoners, is, imo, another demonstration of good democraty. And what about iraki prisoners? ach, the question wasn't important at this moment, you're right.

>>This is completely untrue. The Bush administration has not attempted in any way to make TV say nothing about the POWs.

>Fred should have said SHOW nothing, not 'say'. I can say that I've certainly seen Iraqi POWs shown severally, and many in insulting and degrading positions.
As I understand it, it's part of the Geneva Convention that showing the interogation of POWs on TV is not allowed.
>I have to say that I've seen NO Iraqi POWs mis-treated and I am VERY confident that Iraqi POWs will be WELL TREATED. I have no idea as to how Iraq will treat coalition prisoners, though their record of 1991 does not suggest goodness and comfort.
