This footage was shown on Dutch television tonight. A network correspondent said that Rumsfeld immediately complained this was in contravention of the Geneva Convention in the treatment of POWs, and that he asked US media not to rebroadcast the images (they apparently are cooperating). Of course, yesterday there was plenty of footage of Iraqi POWs, including facial shots. Two can certainly play the propaganda game.
