The Geneva Convention
By Matt Margolis | March 25, 2003
I would like to know what visitors think about these videos being played on Al Jazeera of Coalition POWs being interrogated by Iraqi forces… I personally have no interest in seeing them. The thought of what those videos contain and possibly what has happened to our soldiers off camera sickens me. We go to tremendous efforts to treat POWs in our custody humanely, we also do everything possible to avoid civilians and keep the Iraqi infrastructure intact so they can still have water and other amenities.
To hear about troops getting ambushed by Iraqi forces dressed in civilian clothing and feigning surrender is just absolutely terrible. I don’t want to see the videos. I don’t think I could contain my anger if I did see them.
How do you feel?

Matt…I got to see a still of the video. The networks would not show the video in full. I was so disgusted and angered that I screams and started punching the floor. My father couldnt speak or close his mouth for quite some time in sheer awe. It was sick! Do not watch it…you will be infuriated. That one still image brought back 9-11 all over again. — We will prevail.

I don’t want to see them… No doubt I’d be sickened beyond belief… I have a hard time dealing with current war coverage, I don’t think I’d have the stomach for more than that… But at the same time, I feel like the wool is being pulled over our eyes as to what it’s really like over there… The sheer brutality of it… I believe there’s many people who think it’s a grand ol’ picnic over there, and those are the people where it might do them good to see them and bring them into a reality check…
