The Iraqis are not going to follow the Geneva Convention rules of war. The only rule in war is that there are no rules. It's fighting until someone gives up or is destroyed.
The Iraqis had a female and males POWs during the first Gulf War and torture was used on them (i.e., female POW was raped).
I pray that the POWs do live. I can only imagine the torture that the female POW is experiencing.
Wouldn't the dropping of nuclear bombs on Japan in the 1940's be in violation of the Geneva Convention rules of war?

One thing I cannot believe they showed was the Al Jazeera gruesome pictures of U.S. soldiers that were killed in action and/or executed. CNN only showed one picture and I just cannot believe that has happened. I just continue to pray for our soldiers over there. These pictures, according to the Pentagon, say that they were probably not Iraqui soldiers who did that, but other Iraqui groups. Supposedly, the Iraqui soldiers WILL follow the Geneva Conventions....I hope so.
Currently, there are about 5 U.S. soldiers held as POWs by the Iraquis, including one African American woman who was shown barefoot and the others are injured....not to mention that a U.S. army official confirmed there are 12 U.S. soldiers missing, which MAY be in those gruesome pictures that the Iraqui TV station showed. He also told reporters and news stations NOT to show those on TV and he showed great disapproval in the latest press conference on CNN.
