I'm not comparing them. I'm pointing out that both are violations of the Convention. Showing prisoners, both well-treated and abused, are violations. Clearly, the Iraqis are violating many more of the Convention's tenets than that simple one. But Arnett's is, as far as we can see for now, only committing the same violation of that one rule.

To be honest, the traitor is doing us a favor without intending to do so. The Iraqis won't be able to claim that these men weren't prisoners now. And US public opinion will be even more merciless after those pictures. For that matter, our troops will fight even harder and harbor less hesitations about slaughtering the enemy.

I'm confused. What rule did Arnett violate?
