Open Wide!
Posted on December 15th, 2003 by mike
So I keep seeing, over and over, tv clips of the captured Saddam Hussein (who in his bedraggled condition bears an uncanny resemblence to the Unabomber). They keep showing him opening his mouth wide and someone shining a light in there. I suspect the Pentagon is desperately looking for any weapons of mass destruction that might be lurking in his mouth or within his dental work — it’s their last, best hope!
Of course, displaying captured leaders and troops for public spectacle goes against the Geneva Conventions, but when has that ever stopped anyone?

These are good points.
Marching the defeated leaders and troops of your enemy in disgrace through your streets – real or virtual — is as old as war. YMMV as to whether you think it’s desirable to encourage this sort of thing.
