I was watching Sky News as they showed the live feed from Al Jazeera. The luvvie director had no problem letting us see one soldier being questioned by someone in very broken and illogical english. The soldier was very polite and was making the point that he didn't understand the questions. The rest of the media pack appeared to be throwing questikns in Arabic.

The package then cut to an injured soldier who was lying down on a bed in bloodstained clothes and in obvious pain and discomfort. The sodomising Baath party t@sser holding a microphone then held the soldier by the head and was forcing him to face the camera while he shoved the mic into his face.

At this point the feed was cut as someone slightly less 'luvvie' than the tw@t who was directing the news at that point realised that the families of these POW's probably didn't know that their loved ones were even captured. The anchors then fluffed about and cut to other packages. They eventually mentione that they wouldn't show the footage until the families had been informed.

S76Heavy, I will repeat what I wrote on a similar thread on Jet Blast to one dipstick:
there is a substantial difference between shots of soldiers surrendering or being taken off to a POW camp and placing individuals in front of a camera and bombarding them with stupid questions from some Baath party sodomiser or grabbiong hold of the head of an injured POW who is lying downand forcing him to face the camera whilst he is in shock and pain. I hope that those Batth party swine are strung up by their testicles for that kind of treatment. Unfortunately for some on here who are so rabidly anti-American that they are prepared to overlook the differences mentioned above.
