I think possibly what the US is disagreeing with is the interview of the POW's, forcing them to give there names on camera. That could be considered humilation. They are being singled out.
I don't believe I have seen any of the Iraq POW's interviewed in public, nor do I recall any individual photo sessions of them. I could be wrong, I don't watch that much TV, only enough to keep updated.
There is a big difference between a long shot of prisoners walking up a road with their hands up and the individual interigation of a prisoner. As I say I think this is what the Government is objecting too.
You are quite right Paul. A civilized society always acts civilized, even in war. The rule of law must take precedence, for without law we only have anarchy. If you stoop to the level of an evil enemy you are no better then they are.
