US not yet responding to request by Red Cross to visit Saddam

"It is possible under certain circumstances, the Geneva Conventions do not stipulate that it's not allowed to change the status of a prisoner of war."

"Being classified as a POW is a major move forward, because it will help us to ask for Saddam Hussein's rights as a POW," Doumani said.

Responding to a question about whether they received a no-objection letter from US authorities to visit Saddam Hussein, Doumani added: "we sent a letter to the US officials asking that, but we have not received the answer yet. I am sure the answer will be a positive one, but it is a matter of time".

The US treats all it seizes in the same manner that it wishes its own personnel treated, should they be taken prisoner.
