In a word, baloney. If the POWs are not completely free to refuse media interviews, including specific questions -- remember they are _prisoners_ and are NOT free in other ways -- they are being exploited for propaganda value.
This is media war, and we're losing.
It is a fundamental tenet of PsyOP that you _MUST_ retain your reputation for telling the truth, or all is in tatters. And we are clearly, provably NOT telling the truth . . . this really sucks.
