Jump To Comment: 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10The US oligarchs like Rumsfeld are so damn stupid .... the probably think that there are people (outside the USA) who are so naive that they can't see through their double standards ....
Nice photo .....
The differences are that the identity of these prisioners is not shown, they are not being interrogated in front of TV cameras and their comrades were not executed. The Iragi regime did all this and have been condemned by the International Red Cross, who rightly pointed out that the treatment of these American POW's was not in accordance with the Geneva Convention.
And the above are???
Not war crimes.
The US denied that these Taliban prisoners were actually Prisoners of War but anyone looking at the text of the Geneva Convention can see that they perfectly fit into that category.
The US didn't deny that this treatment was inhumane, they merely tried to justify it by saying the Geneva Convention didn't apply because they were not Prisoners of War.
In February 1998, Albright said (in defense of using cruise missles against Iraq), "If we have to use force, it is because we are America. We are the indispensible nation. We stand tall. We see farther into the future."
That is why the US is not bound by the Geneva Convention whereas the Iraqis are ......
is a federation of over 50 states.
We in the 5th international have long planned yes planned, the seperaion of one of those states.
a clue....
it is the one where the majority speak Spanish.
it is the one with the majority of arrests for anti-War demonstrations.
last clue..
it is where Reagan called for the internment of ecologists pacifists socialists and anarchists in the 60s sharing a platform with Bush senior.
and WE in the 5th have so far been right.
The photo's do not show the faces of the prisioners, therefore they do not contravene the Geneva Convention.
And all the photos and video I've seen on Sky and elsewhere shows the faces of Iraqis prisioners !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! You are so full of crap.
clearly showing an iraqi being held on the ground by a us marine, face 100% visible. are you telling me that the us military did not sanction the release of this pic?
recent pics have shown iraqi pows in close up. (actually i think i'll write an anrticle about this..)
