Hi George, good to hear a response.

I made the "nuff said" comment because Rumsfield's statement suggesting that media photographing of POWs is not allowed under international law is ridiculous. I don't mean to defend Iraqi government, but I fail to see why the video footage have you so angry. Granted, I haven't seen the Iraq government footage, but as far as I can tell from the text descriptions, it doesn't seem to be the most horrible thing in context of a war. As for the close-ups of dead soldiers, I don't see what's wrong with it except for the trauma for the families who may see it. I think CNN has refrained from showing any bodies, or any blood at all from either side, in order to not upset the viewers. That's a defensible but also questionable decision.

Who are these disgusting ones who use deaths of GIs to criticize Bush? The only case I know is the father of one of the killed Marines.
You say that government refrain from showing those videos because of their conscience, that may very well be true. I personally don't know what Rumsfield is thinking on that matter, so he may very well have a strong empathy toward the families of the captured. But all government are always reluctant to let the public see their war dead for obvious reasons, so I hesitate to put the government on the moral high ground on this issue.

Lastly, I do support the troops, but thanks for reminding me.

So you are no longer boycotting news?
