When they are american POW :

Quote:
Arguably, however, the POW footage which has had the greatest impact during the war so far has been that of bewildered American prisoners being questioned on Iraqi state television.

These scenes triggered shock and anger in the United States - and accusations that Iraq, and news organisations which broadcast the footage had broken the Geneva Convention.
Geneva convention:

Quote:
According to the Geneva Convention, prisoners can be questioned by their captors, but are only obliged to give their name, rank and serial number.

'Public curiosity'

Another section of the convention states that "prisoners of war must at all times be protected... against acts of violence or intimidation and against insults and public curiosity."
Mke up your own mind....
