The horrific stories of the treatment of both civilians and the military who have been captured and are prisoners of war defies human logic. When I look at it, when I read about it, I did not think that a human being could go that low. The treatment inflicted on prisoners of war violates every single principle in international law on their treatment.
I don't want to shock this committee with examples of such violations, but I am just saying to you that, when one goes through the list, it clearly violates every single principle of international law regarding the treatment of prisoners of war.
