you can't say that on television!
make that "american" television.

erik and i, with our newly acquired mental pollution, were watching canadian news. they showed footage of rumsfeld talking about the US POWs and mentioning stuff like violations of the Geneva Convention. then, they switched over to videotaped footage of the taliban and AQ prisoners at guantanamo bay. the anchor mentioned something about how the Geneva Convention was no big deal to america then... as far as i know, the removal of the prisoners to guantanamo bay is a violation in and of itself, and videotaping prisoners is right out. i'm no international law scholar, though.

this would not happen on CNN or any US network news show.
