Double standards... US networks can show captured Iraq soldiers (you must have seen footage with captured Iraq soldiers lined with arms above their heads), but can't show captured US soldiers.... becouse of convention... weird...

It's not a double standard. It's o.k. to show a group from a distance where faces aren't able to be recognized. The Iraqis were showing individuals faces as well as their tortured and murdered bodies. Showing individuals faces is disrespectfrul to the families of the captured's families. Besides, the Iraqi people don't have access to Western television, so it doesn't matter anyway. The U.S. (the aggressors as many of you like to say) treats the Iraqi P.O.W.'s with dignity and respect---because it's the right thing to do. Our government would NEVER allow or condone soldiers to torture and murder P.O.W.'s----NEVER!!!1

I wonder how many Iraqis actually watched. Probably some US soldiers though...
