The full details (which I don't really want to know :/ ) have yet to be exposed in the news but there are eyewitness accounts from two Iraq citizens that she was indeed abused in the hospital after she sustained her combat injuries. He and his wife are the ones that led the Marines to her location.
Aside from that, though, I have two questions.
What would be the difference, with respect to the Geneva Convention, in the treatment of those under the noncombatant status (for example, the detainess in Gunatanmo Bay) and POWs captured in the Iraqi War.
Shouldn't it be a blanket "zero tolerance" policy for all POWs. Why are we talking about "degrees of abuse" here like we're keeping score?
