I just read this article to see where it was the the US was violating the Geneva Convention.


Guardian Unlimited | The Guardian | POW rights denied 'on both sides'


The Red Cross made some fairly generic statements aimed as a reminder to both sides, although it's important to note that in Iraq's case it's the state run media doing the interrog...I mean, interviews and filming, not that the Red Cross or Al Guardian would mention that.


But, speaking of the media echo-chamber, the only specific allegation is...ready?...from The Guardian reporting on an accusation made by fellow rag The Daily Mirror. Apparently, the British press needs to create its own allegations when the reality isnt quite enough.


Meanwhile The Daily Mirror this morning accused the US of hypocrisy, claiming that footage of its treatment of prisoners held at Guantanamo bay in Cuba also broke the Geneva Conventions.
