What the prisoners may or may not have done is irrelevant.
So blatant violations of the Geneva Convention pose no problem for you? There's really not a lot of judging needed. Some of the prisoners are being treated shamefully.
1. Persons taking no active part in the hostilities, including members of armed forces who have laid down their arms and those placed hors de combat by sickness, wounds, detention, or any other cause, shall in all circumstances be treated humanely, without any adverse distinction founded on race, colour, religion or faith, sex, birth or wealth, or any other similar criteria.
To this end the following acts are and shall remain prohibited at any time and in any place whatsoever with respect to the above-mentioned persons:
(a) Violence to life and person, in particular murder of all kinds, mutilation, cruel treatment and torture;
(b) Taking of hostages;
(c) Outrages upon personal dignity, in particular, humiliating and degrading treatment;
(d) The passing of sentences and the carrying out of executions without previous judgment pronounced by a regularly constituted court affording all the judicial guarantees which are recognized as indispensable by civilized peoples.
2. The wounded and sick shall be collected and cared for.
An impartial humanitarian body, such as the International Committee of the Red Cross, may offer its services to the Parties to the conflict.
I hope like hell you're not in the armed services.

Maybe he was dragged in because he owned a rifle to protect his family from the insurgents.
Oh wait, that IS why he was brought in.
Maybe he was RELEASED PRIOR TO THESE PICTURES BEING PUBLICHED BECAUSE THERE WAS NO EVEIDENCE HE HAD DONE ANYTHING WRONG.
I hear he's joing Saddar's milita, now.
I wonder why.
I don't think either of you read this.
Evidently, you guys are happy too, thats fine, I would like to have more people condemning actions and people, with only some of the facts.
