John Perry Barlow: "I thought Cheney, Bush, and Rumsfeld were
bluffing. I still think they were. But they painted themselves into
a terrible corner by failing to recognize the irrationality and
intransigence of Saddam Hussein as well as the powerlessness of his
people."

I'm a bit taken a back by comments received on my post about european tv coverage, where we *have* seen the images of US pow's. Their faces are displayed on the front page of all newspapers here today.
How long does the US media plan on *not* showing american and/or coalition casualties? The geneva convention states:
"[...] prisoners of war must at all times be protected, particularly against acts of violence or intimidation and against insults and public curiosity."
Technically I suppose you can't show any pictures of any pow's anywhere. Since it would satisfy the curisoity of any viewer.
