Good points Boromir.

the word 'Treat' - I'll have to take a look at that.

But a few other things though.

Gimli's 'I guess that concludes negotiations' - he was being Ironic. There were no negotiations.

The movie MoS came out to gloat -

Let me put this to you. if you had not read the book before you saw this scene you would not believe that the MoS was there to negotiate or parley with them.

But then we need to ask someone who saw this film before they read the books....Anyone?

Aragorn asked for Sauron to come out, the gates open ajar and out pops one of his cronies to taunt the Men of the West, to inflict more doubt in their minds with Lies, and then to spring a trap.

He was not there to Parley. Just because someone walks up to you on the field of battle and doesn't swing a sword at you doesn't give him the right to walk around and taunt you and you must leave him be......

Finally, to make clear, the book version is far superior and works a LOT better than the movie version. I am just defending the actions of movie Aragorn.
