2. Today 4 U.S. soldiers were captured by the Iraqi military, and as soon as that happened Mr. Rumsfeld came on CNN and said that it was against some Ganeva convention to show POW's on T.V. My questions to Mr. Rumsfeld is don't these same conventions apply to the Iraqi POW's which were captured earlier. Or the Afghani POW's which were captured in the previous wars.

well, in regards to the afghani POWs, the americans got around the geneva convention by calling them "battlefield detainees" instead of POWs. apparently it was not a real war, because they were fighting the taliban, which they didn't recognize as a govt. besides they were a ragtag army of conscriptions, they didn't even have uniforms.
I guess the reasoning goes, if your country cannot afford to buy uniforms for it's soldiers then we will do whatever we like to them, regardless of international law.
