    Subtle difference for sure, actually its not against the conventions to interview them. Its against the conventions to parade them, and they must be protected from public curiosity, which I assume means don't put them in cages and allow the public to poke them with sticks. From what I've seen the interviews were harmless and not humiliating and their is no evidence of coerced statements as Saddam has done in the past war.

    The US has gone to great pains to allow reporters to see the long lines of Iraqi prisoners, handcuffed, some with hoods over their heads, on their knees with soldiers standing around them. Their faces haven't been blurred by the US media of course. Supremely hypocritical.
