I saw that also and thought...isn't that against the Geneva Convention. I think it was on MSNBC.

Can anyone clarify the distinction (aside from the treatment that followed) between the daily news footage that we have been seeing of surrendered Iraqi soldiers and the taped footage of US soldiers? I know that the Iraqi soldiers will be treated and fed better than they have ever been, but it was shocking to see some field reporter with a video-phone walking up to Iraqui soldiers as they were being processed.

Is the difference between a soldier in the process of surrendering vs post processing?

You're probably right. I don't have cable, but NBC is relying heavily on MSNBC reporters and I get the best reception for the local NBC station (assuming Fox isn't showing FNC).
