Stripping a POW of his clothes in not torture or inhumane treatment that violates the Geneva Conventions, but releasing photo's that humiliate the POW's is.

If forcing subordinates to strip naked is a form of abuse then I have a good cause for litigation against the highschool P.E. teacher I had who made us all strip naked in front of each other and take showers together. If we were not wet enough once stepping out of the shower we had to go back in or take a lower grade.

I was wondering about the issue of releasing those photos and how they play into the Geneva convention. I thought it was against the convention to humiliate POWS by exposing their shame to the world. Will CBS be brought up on war crimes?

Forcing people to strip naked is abuse, unless there are provisions for modesty, Just because your gym teacher did that, or that many gym teachers did so doesn't make it right.
