A corpse is a corpse, of course, of course...

After our government accused Iraq of "violating the Geneva convention" for showing corpses of US soldiers, ABC just showed corpses of Iraqi soldiers.

I don't see the difference.

AFAIK, the Geneva Convention violations have to do with airing the pictures and questioning of the POWs, not the corpses.

That said, NBC News aired video of Iraqi POWs (being displayed during a walk and talk by Kerry Sanders) which, in my view, violated the exact same article the U.S. Government is citing. There is no difference.

Agreed. Sigh.

So much for our profession.
