[eDebate] irrelevant NON-replies

I won't get into too many of the substantive portions of this post, but I 
will respond to the following:

Actually, the "protest" as you refer to it, is to both the broadcast and the 
treatment.  I am by no means taking a stance on the invasion.  However, the 
broadcast violation of the Geneva convention is due to the illegality of both 
humiliating POW's and interrogating them in front of the media.  The 
treatment part that we are objecting to is that many news sources are 
reporting that a few of the people appear to have execution style wounds 
(center of forehead, single shot type stuff) which would be an obvious 
violation of the Geneva Convention.
