Re: [Alex978] How do you feel about being cheated by your government
They're not being broadcast here in the US because their families have not been notified. And even then I doubt the American media would show images of G.I.'s who have been executed by Iraqi thugs. The interview portion may run at some time.

You do see pictures of Iraqi POWs on western media, but they're supposed be taken from a distance away and no personal interviews or humiliations. You would never see the faces of enemy dead turned to the camera for display.

These Iraqi actions are similar to the atrocities committed by German civilians against Allied air crews during World War II - the Luftwaffe on the other hand were always professional and treated Allied prisoners with respect. That's because professional military personnel treat enemy prisoners as they hope their own would be treated in similar circumstances.

The Iraqis showed this was not the way they would behave during the Iran-Iraq war and during the first Gulf War when they tortured & sexually molested our POWs
