Iraq should treat US soldiers like they are treating Afghans. I believe that captured US and British troops should be treated as ‘unlawful combatants’ by the Iraqi army, similar to the manner in which the USA treats those who it illegally holds at Camp Delta, Guantanamo Bay, Cuba.
After the capture of American troops the US Defense Secretary Donald Rumsfeld, citing the Geneva Convention, hypocritically stated, “It’s illegal to do things to POWs that are humiliating to those prisoners.” This seems rather ironic from an Administration that has humiliated, shackled, gagged and blindfolded some 600 prisoners at Camp Delta while they are detained without trial, charge or legal representation.
