But the Iraqi prisoners of war who were shown being searched,
handcuffed, and walking in lines with their hands above their heads could
also be said to have been shown in a humiliating light for the purpose of
public curiosity. 'There's been a little violation on each side', concludes
Dentley F Vagts, a specialist on the laws of war at Harvard University Law
School (5).
I too found this interesting. If we expect our prisoners to be treated in total compliance with the Geneva Conventions, then what about all those guys we're holding in Cuba. I guess we don't have to, but they have to--or something? Maybe there's been a lot of violation on each side. And in Afghanistan even before they were aware that Walker was an American, he was being very roughly interrogated by our CIA agents. I know that the one agent's family totally blame Walker for his death, but just how an unarmed man in handcuffs with two bullet wounds could have killed anyone has always been a mystery to me. It's always been true that nations at war cheat on the Geneva Conventions. Still since we are doing what we do, it might be a good idea not to fuss too loudly about the behavior of others.
