No its just not looking as simple as it was yesterday. We are still fighting and defeating the Iraqi forces.
As already stated, ITV have announced on their programme that ITN reporter Terry Lloyd is now believed to be dead. His two team members are still missing though.

Hopefully they are in hospital in Basra.

OK. Are POWs allowed to be shown at all or that they can't be 'forced' to pump out anti enemy propoganda?

If you're captured can you ask to go and telly and say "I'm alive, I aint going to disappear" etc?

Article 13
Prisoners of war must at all times be humanely treated. Any unlawful act or omission by the Detaining Power causing death or seriously endangering the health of a prisoner of war in its custody is prohibited, and will be regarded as a serious breach of the present Convention. In particular, no prisoner of war may be subjected to physical mutilation or to medical or scientific experiments of any kind which are not justified by the medical, dental or hospital treatment of the prisoner concerned and carried out in his interest.

Likewise, prisoners of war must at all times be protected, particularly against acts of violence or intimidation and against insults and public curiosity.

So if they want to go on TV thats OK. You cannot though force them by any means

Smart weapons are accurate to within 8 feet. Only military installations have been targetted well in advance. Only 3 civilian deaths have been reported so far.

Suggest you read up a bit more mate.

Even the Iraqi's have found it hard to make up figures this time.

Lets not get complacent though.

ITN has chosen not to show the video of the captured soldiers. They have shown a few stills instead.

Sky is being selective in what it shows, considering the request from the US not to show any of it I doubt it will be shown in the UK or US for te duration
 
Great war footage on ITV

Showing british marines coming under fire from a house near a ridge, loads of gunsfire, then a mortar, 2 javellin missiles, then an airstrike from an F-18, then blowing the building to pieces with challlenger tanks
:cool:
