#2 we're not allowed to talk to the inmates or show their faces -- doing so would be in violation of the Geneva Conventions
G*d damn it. For the 4 millionth time: these are NOT prisoners of war under the Geneva Conventions. They are illegal combatants if they were captured in battle and can, under the GC, be summarily executed. They are lucky to be alive. If they have been arrested for other things, they are simply criminals.
I do think that Gen. Stone is at least trying to do a good thing (a mitzvah, if you will). Certainly they are being treated much better than any of our soldiers were when they were captured.
