To: abnegation
That was CBS call, NOT the U.S. Government. That is the difference, although CBS should be just ashamed as AJ. So where is the outrage there? How many have called up CBS complaining about showing the dead Iraqis? We can't have it both ways.
To: killjoy
The issue is WHEN were they killed and how were the bodies (live and dead) treated!
Nothing to do with pictures of dead people.
KIA can be filmed for documentation, bodies treated as proper to the situation - body bags, identification, burial.
PRISONERS are to be treated as proper to their situation - treat wounds, feed, confine, question, do not beat, and DO NOT SHOOT IN THE HEAD.
Neither prisoners nor KIA are to be used for propaganda, publicly ridiculed, etc. by their captors.
The scene on the Saddam-site suggests that at least four were beaten, stripped, and shot after capture.
Nothing you've seen on CBS has or will show anything like that....remember that the most damaning photo of Vietnam was one of our allies smoking a civilian clad Vietcong; Americans are REAL anti-assasination.
