If they would actually do some research, and investigate the Geneva convention, as well as history of the past, you'd know that Iraqi's for the most part do not even follow the rules set by the UN/Geneva to begin with.

First off, they are dressed in every day street clothes, not uniforms (as outlined by international law) for war time.

Second, if you follow the rules, or rather precedent, laid out in Vietnam, the war in Iraq is not a declared war, and while fighters are not in uniform, they are technically not considered POW's. Hence rules and international laws would not apply.

These 24/7 new channels really need to do some research, and stop sensationalizing everything. They are nothing more than supermarket tabloids on cable.
