How many times have you read about the three United States soldiers ‘kidnapped’ during a military fight on May 12 in Iraq? Or the three soldiers ‘abducted’?
For some reason the news media can’t call a spade a spade. The three weren’t kidnapped. They weren’t abducted. They were captured during a wartime battle.
Normally, they would thus be POWs, subject to the provisions of the Geneva Convention. But since the crazies in the White House decided the Geneva Convention doesn’t apply to the war Bush decided to wage, those three soldiers can simply be considered enemy combatants, or whatever, with no protections, and thus subject to the same things Little Georgie does to foreign nationals he doesn’t like. They can be tortured. They can be abused. They can be killed. Just like our people do to them.
Please send your thank you notes to the White House.
Excellent point! It’s those kinds of phrases and such that flow through the mainstream media that most people (including myself) don’t pick up on. Thanks for bringing it up. I wonder why they (all the media) don’t pick up on this themselves? I guess they just repeat what they’re told by the propoganda-creators.
