I'm pretty sure my info is correct. I got it from a pretty reliable Dutch news source. [img]smile.gif[/img]
Anyway, I've read in the paper that Saddam has been declared something called a 'enemy POW', which means standard rules do not apply. I've been unable to find confirmation of this, though.

Article 118

Prisoners of war shall be released and repatriated without delay after the cessation of active hostilities


So - is the war over or not?

I vaguely recall Bush standing on some aircraft carrier spreading the message 'the war is over'. Unless they mean The War against Terror.

Umm there are friendly POW's? I was always under the impression that anyone caught working for the other side was considered "the enemy" and when captured a "POW". They didn't teach us anything about different types of POWs in our GC classes when I was in the navy.

Actually in the interest of accuracy and honesty, his comment was "Mission Accomplished".

The "war in Iraq" being one mission in the over all WAR on terrorism. Its all Politician speach anyway and written to be spun.

As for repatriation Im pretty sure the Government has to be re-established before that can be done.....Heads of state are a different issue. and I don't recall any of the Nuremberg people being repatriated..they were executed or imprisioned....or comitted suicide.
