Jason Leopold, Truthout: "Newly released US government documents, detailing how Bush administration officials punched legalistic holes in the Geneva Conventions' protections of war captives, stand in stark contrast to the outrage some of the same officials expressed in the first week of the Iraq war when Iraqi TV interviewed several captured American soldiers. 'If there is somebody captured,' President George W. Bush told reporters on March 23, 2003, 'I expect those people to be treated humanely. If not, the people who mistreat the prisoners will be treated as war criminals.'"
