Almost... They are no longer showing the footage because it breaks the laws of the Geneva Convention to show the face of POWs.  It actually works out well in the end.  It's basically a smoking gun that also shows that some soldiers were shot in the head at close range.  In other words, they were probably executed after they surrendered.

They were initially shown on BBC, although they're currently not showing the
footage at the moment out of respect for the families concerned (apparently
the footage also contains four dead US soldiers).
