Rumsfeld: Iraqi Footage Violates Geneva Convention
Defense Secretary Donald Rumsfeld said on Sunday Iraqi television footage claiming to show American prisoners of war was a violation of the Geneva Convention.
On CBS's "Face the Nation," Rumsfeld was shown footage relayed by the Arabic satellite station al-Jazeera that Iraq television claimed were captive U.S. soldiers.
Rumsfeld said he did not know if the footage did in fact show American soldiers who had been captured, but he warned if it did, it violated the Geneva Convention governing treatment of prisoners of war.
