The CBC played the American POW video, they also played the videos of the Iraqi soldiers who had been captured by Americans
I find in interesting how the US was upset that their soldiers were being "embaressed" on TV and how it violated the Geneva convention, but I don't belive they had anything to be embarased about, I don't think you should be embarased that you had to say what they told you too, considering they had a gun to your head.
But it was no more embaressing than the videos being carried by the American networks showing Iraqi POW's being forced to lie face down in the dirt for hours, and these were shown long before the other videos came out, and what about the prisioners being held by the US in Cuba, are their rights not being violated?
Oh that's right the US thinks the Geneva convention only applies to those who they are not fighting against
