The Daily Star claims Iraq executed a number of American prisoners of war in "cold blood". It also advertises its "Oscars Special" with a picture of Carmen Elektra.

"God Help Them" is the headline on the front of the Daily Express. It refers to the American prisoners of war that Iraq paraded on TV. It also claims a number of prisoners who were killed were shot in the head.

The Sun also looks at the plight of the US prisoners of war being held in Iraq. It says they are being "Held At The Mercy Of Savages".

The Daily Mirror continues with its campaign against the war. It shows two pictures on its front page. One is of an injured Iraqi child and the other is of an American prisoner of war. The paper labels the campaign "senseless".

The pictures of the captured US soldiers shows the "Dawning Of War's Harsh Reality" according to The Times. It too looks at the difficulties faced by the coalition forces on their move to Baghdad.

The Independent tells the story of the war so far. It says "The Allies Suffer On Road To Baghdad". The lead looks at the losses incurred by the allies as they move through Iraq.

The execution of POWs further accentuates the reason why we fight.

It certainly does. This enemy is not what we are used to. They play by no rules making the mention of Geneva convention null and void. They are below the animals. There are no words for the evil they radiate.
