The Argus (March 24) gives prominence to the American and British anger at the showing of American POWs on Iraqi television.

George W Bush rightly says that this is against the Geneva Convention.

However, a year ago the Americans were showing captured Afghan prisoners who had been taken to a US base in Cuba on television.

They were seen blindfolded and manacled, being forced to kneel in open-air steel cages.

They were also seen being dragged away for interrogation. The Americans are still keeping these prisoners behind bars, although no charges have been laid against them.

Furthermore, the Americans say these prisoners are not entitled to the protection of the Geneva Convention, which is inhuman and illegal.

If the US continues to think its military power gives it the right to break treaties and do as it pleases, Britain can expect to be led into many more future wars.
