BIG Difference! Yes, there is a difference. But still, showing the prisoners on TV is a violation of the Geneva convention, right? I'm not too informed about the stipulations of the Geneva convention, so I may be wrong here. I'd like to hear it from someone who knows more than me.

The actual violation of the Geneva convention is that the prisoners were forced to give interviews to the media - pictures of the prisoners is not against the Geneva Convention. Dave Huff Igor would you give me a hand with the bags? Certainly - you take the blonde and I'll take the one in the turban!
Thanks for the clarification. :)
