Well, they aren't displaying propaganda, they're reporting our side of the story equally often, and I think most people are intelligent enough that, presented both sides of the issue, they can decide who to believe for themselves. In fact, Al Jazeera has been banned by Iraq, most likely for reporting on news that was not favorable to Iraq.
Second, they can't violate the Geneva convention, it only applies to governments and people acting on behalf of governments, not private individuals. It might be illegal for Iraq to make the tapes (depending on what "humiliation" means; the original intent was to forbid things like parading them naked through the street, letting people pelt them with rotten fruit, etc), but it's not illegal for any news agency to air them, unless the news agency would be owned by the Iraqi government.
If it was a crime to report on a crime, there would be a lot less news.
