I was watching BBC last night when I had a gut feel something was about to happen. So I switched channels to CNN. Since 9/11, I've switched to BBC for news. CNN had since showed bias when delivering the news. BBC is a bit more objective. Plus I love the accent -- LOL.

Anyway, CNN was broadcasting a press briefing by Donald Rumsfeld. He was yapping that the Iraqi's shouldn't be broadcasting American POW's being interviewed on TV and that if they did they would be violating the 3rd Geneva Convention. He added that it would be "humiliating" for American POW's to be treated that way.

Wow! All of the sudden the Geneva Convention exists again. Wasn't the Geneva Convention sidelined when the prisoners at Guantanamo Bay were denied access to lawyers? Are their rights not violated when they are being subjected to humiliation and isolation? Didn't the US contravene the very principle of just treatment when it denied POW status to these prisoners? Oh, and don't forget that they refused to recognize the ICC because they wanted immunity for US servicemen. Which basically means that they can get away with violations on both sides of any conflict. The international community can't touch US soldiers. They can't touch the US's prisoners too.

Rumsfeld sure has balls. He can invoke the Geneva Convention when American soldiers are captured, but turns a blind eye when it comes the prisoners of Guantanamo Bay. *tsk, tsk*
