fodders Posted August 19, 2003 After Bush declared the end of hostilities from his aircraft carrier all POW's should be released, so this guy shouldn't even have been taken prisoner. The Geneva Convention states: Article 118 Prisoners of war shall be released and repatriated without delay after the cessation of active hostilities. But of course bush and his cronies seem to, once again, ignore all the rules of civilised conduct and rules of war, but sure scream a lot if someone else seems to ignore one rule...the fuss about soldiers being shown on tv etc. 0 Share this post Link to post

Naked Snake Posted August 20, 2003 Prisoners of war shall be released and repatriated without delay after the cessation of active hostilities. But fod, remember, there still is active hostilities, not from the U.S., but from Iraqis. 0 Share this post Link to post
