(CNN) However, Amnesty International said Saddam should be classified as a prisoner of war and that his treatment should be covered by the Geneva Convention. Nicole Choveiry, Middle East spokeswoman for Amnesty International, criticized the release of any image that seemed to serve no purpose. "We didn't disagree with a picture of Saddam being released that proved his identity but not with those that showed him being medically examined," she told CNN. "Saddam Hussein should be classified as a prisoner of war. If he's not a prisoner of war, I don't know what is," she said. "He must not be used as a public curiosity and as a prisoner of war he is entitled to humane treatment. Showing him in custody falls under the category of humiliating a prisoner of war."
