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
The difference is, we did not show the faces of the Iraqi POWs. That's where the line is. They not only showed our guys' faces, they paraded them like trophies, to say nothing of mistreatment and torture. That you don't differentiate that surprises me little, you are a liberal, after all.
As for the enemy combatants and terrorists we have in Cuba, you will note that their basic needs are provided for. They are kept in anonymity and are not revealed. They are allowed basic correspondence. We treat them much better than they deserve to be treated.
