There are specific clauses which refer to not publically humiliating a prisoner. I'm surprised the Agitprop Division didn't show video of Saddam taking his first dump while in custody.
Saddam is not a good guy. But this went beyond the pale.
You're one-hundred percent correct. I saw that sack of shit Rumsfeld on a press conference this afternoon where he answered the specific question of does parading Saddam around violate the Geneva convention. His answer was that some things are more important, that it was necessary to show to the world that Saddam was in custody and he wasn't going to be back in power, etc. He added that Saddam is being treated humanly, and he takes offense to anyone who suggests otherwise.

In other words, "yes". Following in the footsteps of Richard Perle. b I think in this case international law stood in the way of doing the right thing.b (http://www.guardian.co.uk/Iraq/Story/0,2763,1089158,00.html) 'Scuse me whilst I go vomit.

Rumsfeld also revealed that the CIA has taken over the Saddam interrogation, and pundits are speculating that they will use the same torture techniques that are being used on the "detainees." Later today, a source close to the interrogation said that Saddam would be subjected to stress and sleep deprivation. Basically, teams of interrogators will ask questions over and over again, and no one will get any rest until answers are provided. Bill Bennett said just a few minutes ago, that Saddam's capture made America safer, because the world has learned that "If you mess with America, you wind up in a hole." A friend of mine, when asked what he wanted from Santa for Christmas, replied, "A crater the size of DC." Clearly, the world's leaders are looking closely at Saddam's treatment, and realizing how easily pissing off the Bush family could result in them being shown on International TV unbathed, unshaven, checked for fleas, and bent over for a rectal probe. Of course, all of this is provoking a new arms race of astronomical proportions, as the other nations of the world realize international law means nothing, and that the US and Israel think they can judge everyone else on the planet, no one can judge them, and they can act with impunity. This will, in a few years, result in the usual "force meets force plus brains" low level format of the arrogant, and after a few hangings, and a big round of applause, life on the planet will move on. -- Eric Michael Cordian 0+ O:.T:.O:.
