US POW\'s now shon on Al-Jazeera
« on: March 23, 2003, 07:51:38 AM »
Oh my God :eek:

they are showing live interviews with US POW\'s on Al-Jazeera.

there are beleved to be 9 or so US POW\'s being shown LIVE on the Arab Satalite channel.

they have it on a live link up on NEWS 24 (BBC channel which i am watching NOW).

so far there are 2 on the screen NOW and from the looks like one Badly injured or maybe even dead.

the BBC channel cut the link as soon as the camera zoomed on the "fallen" POW.

here is the news story

Quote

Iraqi TV shows US prisoners

 
The prisoners were asked to identify themselves
Iraqi television has broadcast pictures of five American soldiers it says were captured in the southern city of Nasiriya.

Two of the captured, including a woman, appeared to have been wounded. One of the men was lying on the floor on a rug.

The five are believed to be the first coalition prisoners taken by Iraq.

They were questioned on air and gave their names, military identification numbers and home towns

They won\'t show it in the US.  THey are talking about it and explaingin what\'s on the tape, but they wo\'t show it.  I assume it\'s because the families aren\'t completely notified yet.

Executed POWs.  God these Iraqis are whacked.

Executed... its too early to say , they could of be executed or they could of been killed out in the battle zone and brought back with the POW\'s for show... either way its STILL BAD.


but if you click on Fastson\'s Direct Feed Link then you will get the News 24 programme that i am watching now.

i have tested it out and their is about a 30 second delay from UK TV and internet feed.

i just saw this on al-jazeera (extermly graphic video), i could count 4-7 bodies (maybe more)  4 were clearly visible, but then they went to another scene in which atleast 3 bodies were shown. (i\'m not sure if these were the same people in the first scene or not).

i wonder how this news will fare in the U.S.

btw vid were did u read about executed pows?

Executing POW\'s???? Oh there is going to be hell to pay in Baghdad when this done.  This could dwarf the number of enemy executed after the Nuremburg Trials when its all over with.

Sorry if I sound pissed, but there are just certain things that really get me and this is one of them.  Does Iraq not realize they have already lost its just a matter of time and when the end does come do the people that are responsible for the mistreatment of POW\'s not realize they will be held accountable?

That\'s what they are saying on the news.  They aren\'t saying they are definitely exectued.  They are just saying it looks like they were.  They aren\'t showing it here yet.

Well even if they died in combat displaying their bodies on TV is barbaric.  Yes, I said it, barbaric.

like i said its FAR too earily to say if they were Executed or if the Iraqi\'s just brought back the bodies from a fight near on of the citys.

Again either way its bad...

and Giga you will find that the worrying fact that IF they were executed then i don\'t think the people who did it care as they are already sided with the wrong side long ago.

in other words they are back in to a corner and will do anything because they have nothing to lose....

NEWS 24 works on a hourly cycle.

if new news comes up then they will introduce it.

in other words, hold tight vid it should be us soon they have just showed the earilyer story about Donald Runsfeld

update
----------
oh and they (the BBC) have just said that they will not show it again, until they can do more editing work so that it won\'t upset families of those involved.

expected showing time ... maybe another hour.
