Al Jazeera has even agreed to stop running the video at the request of the Pentagon. Amazing. But I think they are worried about the Geneva Convention.

The Geneva Conventions do not apply to the media. They can show it all they want. The war criminals are the Iraqis that displayed the dead soldiers, not the dip$hit media who show it.

The video in question is not of the dead but of the living POWs. It is against the Geneva convention to use POWs as propoganda fodder. You can show dead soldiers though. If I got this wrong I would love a correction, thanks in advance.

But I think they are worried about the Geneva Convention.

And they well should be. I've seen the tapes of the PoW's and of the casaulties of the artillery attack on Lebonese TV as well as Al Jazeera. The American public would be enraged if they saw what was on those tapes.
