POW FOOTAGE: ARE US/IRAQ BREAKING GENEVA CONVENTION? Footage of captured American soldiers broadcast on Iraqi television violates the Geneva Convention, according to the International Committee of the Red Cross. In the videotape, broadcast on Sunday, four men and a woman were questioned and gave their names, military identification numbers and home towns in the United States. (BBC)		SADDAM RALLIES IRAQIS Saddam Hussein appeared on his state-run television Monday to tell the nation that the United States and its allies are "trapped" as Iraq resists "heroically." It was not immediately clear whether the speech was broadcast live or was taped. Saddam talked about current battles and referred to "setbacks" for his "enemies." "Today you are standing in a position that would please the friend and would anger the enemy and all the infidels," he said. "You will be victorious against the enemies and you are causing them to suffer." (CNN)
