Arabic News Channel Shows Alleged U.S. Prisoners
Sunday, March 23, 2003
By Liza Porteus
Arabic news channel Al-Jazeera showed footage Sunday of what it said were five U.S. prisoners, including one woman. ![[Frown]](frown.gif)
The station showed footage of the alleged prisoners being questioned by their captors and being asked things such as where they were from and their names. The tape that was broadcast was reportedly provided by Iraqi television and was edited.
"This is the first we've seen of it -- it looks like Iraqi TV propaganda," said a U.S. Defense Department spokesperson. "What they're doing is wrong -- we're trying to get to the bottom of what we're seeing. We're investigating the tape now."
Three prisoners -- including the woman -- said they were from Texas, another was from New Jersey and another from Kansas.
"They don't bother me and I don't bother them," said the Kansas man. "I was told to come here," he said when asked why he came to Iraq.
The Texas man said: "I follow orders," when asked why he was there.
When asked how the Iraqi people have received him -- whether it be with "flowers or guns" -- the Texas man said "I don't understand … they're people of their own country."
In the interviews, two of the prisoners identified their unit only as the 507th Maintenance. The woman said she was 30 years old. She had no shoes on.
The station said the prisoners were captured around Nasiriyah.
Al-Jazeera also showed at least one prisoner laying down on a cot, appearing wounded. Two were bandaged.
One of the male prisoners, sitting up, was being interviewed by an unseen person holding a microphone labeled "Iraqi TV." The soldier spoke in English and at one point said: "I'm sorry. I don't understand you."
The station also showed bodies in uniform in an Iraqi morgue that it said were Americans.
Defense Secretary Donald Rumsfeld, reacting to the video during an appearance on CBS' Face the Nation, said: "That's a violation of the Geneva Convention."
He said the convention prohibits photographing and humiliating captured troops.
Defense officials said they were analyzing the video. They also said there is nothing in the tape that would lead them to believe the prisoners were not really U.S. troops.
The Associated Press and Fox News' David Lee Miller and Major Garrett contributed to this report.
