I recall many claims against the US regarding alleged violations of the Geneva Conventions coming from the press, the enemy and from the American Democrat party. There was much ink mostly about the actions of a few, not official US policy.
In the case of this new Iranian Hostage event, there is no question that this is the official policy of the Iranians.
Hostages have been taken. Even after it was established through photographic and GPS evidence that the ‘arrest’ was erroneous, Iran has not returned the hostages.
Hostages’ images were used in propaganda. Statements are being coerced and publicized for political advantage.
The woman, Faye Turney has been dressed in a head scarf.
These are all clear violations of the Geneva Conventions yet I haven’t seen stories addressing this situation as such.
My question is WHY?

You’re right. I am extremely disappointed with our "news" media.
