Which is a violation of Article 13 of the Geneva Convention. A few might have been killed in execution style. It's all over the news. Any Iraqi's captured for the interrogation will be charged with war crimes.

Not to start anything, just playing devil's advocate... going against UN sanction and going to war isn't that some sort of criminal offence?

I've been following the war, looking at all of the major news agencies. I have seen no reports of the executions that you claim. The Geneva Convention does not prohibit interrogation of prisoners.

I don't know, I'm not part of the UN. But Saddam did break 17 previous sanctions from the UN.

If you think about it though, as sad as it may seem, it's a small price to pay.

Don't know if this is confirmed or not, but here is one link:

It's a shame to see CNN putting spin on their reporting. Obviously that suggestion can't be legitimately made by anyone but a qualified forensics expert who has examined the bodies.

If it does turn out that there were executions, then those who are responsible should be punished. I don't believe that a vague allegation should be used as an excuse for the US to commit war atrocities.

I see where you're going and to answer your question, NO. We are a soverign nation and have the right to protect ourselves. Funny how nobody cried that it's a "criminal offense" when other countries went to war w/o UN backing.

Slow-N-Low

Please explain why other countries aren't sovereign, why the US alone gets to decide their future. Yes, we have a right to protect ourselves. But we attacked Iraq, not vice versa.

Though the link was from Foxnews.com (sorry, couldn't pass up the fact that you were WRONG!-lol), the perception of the reporter means nothing until the bodies are examined. Hopefully, we will get to retrieve them, and hopefully, the video of the bodies is nothing more than fabricated Iraqi propaganda.

Did someone here say that executions now justify the US committing attrocities? Must have missed it.
