POWs on TV Defy Geneva Rules Cite Access as Priority
ICRC spokeswoman Nada Doumani says showing prisoners on television breaches Article 13 of the Geneva Conventions which protects prisoners from public curiosity. She notes the main priority is to access the captives and ensure their safety while avoiding blame. Reported prisoners speak English with American accents, from Texas and New Jersey, with one from El Paso and another from Kansas. Iraqi TV interviews reveal language barriers and visible injuries as they are shown in a room near An Nasiriyah where four bodies lie on the floor. U.S. Marines claim a sharpest post by engaging Iraqi forces near An Nasiriyah.
