Iraq
US military to free AP photographer
2008-04-14
BAGHDAD - The U.S. military says it will release Associated Press photographer Bilal Hussein after more than two years in custody. The statement said Hussein will be freed Wednesday now that Iraqi judicial committees have granted him amnesty for all allegations.

Hussein has been in custody since April 12, 2006 when he was detained by U.S. Marines for alleged links to insurgents. The AP and Hussein lie deny any improper links and say he was only doing his job as a journalist.

AP President Tom Curley expressed relief after the statement issued by the military on Monday. "In time we will celebrate Bilal's release. For now, we want him safe and united with his family. While we may never see eye to eye with the U.S. military over this case, it is time for all of us to move on," said Curley.
Bullshit.

#2  Put a tail on the SOB and track down his compadres. That'll at least be good to wipe out a few deadenders.

#1  And the next time he breaks wind, I suspect the Iraqis will be on him like flies on poop. Having served two years in the jug, which is probably what he would have got, had he been convicted, it is now his choice to return to being a good citizen, or to reconnect up with his old crime gang, the AP.
