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.

There is a WORLD of difference between the POWs videos being shown on American TV -- and that video which was aired on arabic TV from Iraq TV around 10:45 a.m. Eastern Time yesterday, which I not only witnessed, but taped since I could not believe my eyes and they kept graphically running it over and over, head wounds from different angles, zooming, Iraqi personnel mishandling the soldiers' remains, etc.
There is a great gap between these two videos, for sure.

(JapanTV showed report on Kim Jong il. He watches CNN regularly. Imagine his thoughts watching Iraq!)
