We had a lot of picture threads here (babes, desktops, etc.) in the past. Why not make a new thread with pictures of the current Iraq conflict I thought. So here we go:

That is from Gulf War in 1991.

 

[.:KNAS:.]

Mikoyan, you should know by now it is a violation of the Geneva convention to show pictures of POW's where they are identifyable

 

[CurtSibling]

Is Mikoyan a combatant?

The newspapers are showing the images so is the web...

Go and moan at them.

 

[.:KNAS:.]

No he is not (AFAIK ), but that makes little difference

 

[CurtSibling]

We are paying for this war, we have a right to see and know what is going on.

Gripping images, Miko!

 

[.:KNAS:.]

I am not demanding that anyone does anything, but i find it very immoral to post those pictures.

I do not go to those websites that show those pictures, i do not read those papers, i do not watch those news.
