U.S. frees 500 prisoners from Abu Ghraib

Tue Nov 1, 9:31 AM ET

Five hundred prisoners walked free from the U.S. military's Abu Ghraib jail in Iraq on Tuesday, released in a goodwill gesture to mark the end of the Muslim holy month of Ramadan.

The detainees were presented with a Koran and $25 on their release which marked Eid al-Fitr celebrations. Their release was in addition to 1,000 prisoners set free in October at the start of the month of fasting.

All 1,500, who also received traditional white shirts, were released after their cases went before an Iraqi-led review board and were found not to have committed serious or violent crimes, the U.S. military said in a statement.

"These detainees have confessed to their crimes, renounced violence and pledged to be good citizens of Iraq," it said.

Deputy Prime Minister Abed Mutlak al-Jibouri and other ministers were present for the release, requested by the Iraqi government, but media were not invited to Abu Ghraib, a vast complex about 15 km (10 miles) west of Baghdad.

U.S. forces are holding 13,885 detainees, including 5,074 at Abu Ghraib, behind barbed wire at several facilities across Iraq, up from a total of about 11,800 a month ago, a spokesman for the U.S. military's prison operations said.

Iraqi critics say U.S. military detentions are too arbitrary and too long.

Abu Ghraib became notorious for the images of U.S. soldiers mocking, physically abusing and torturing Iraqi prisoners that emerged last year. U.S. military officials and Iraqi authorities have since been at pains to show Abu Ghraib now being run as a model prison.

I voted for Kerry. Just like I did in '04.

He might have won if he has said when asked about voting for the war, "I believed Bush could get it done, until he fucked it up and expected us to throw good money after bad."

Or: "The same reason bad movies get made: it seemed like a good idea at the time."

It is marvellous how systematic torture gets the desired results from people who were detained illegally and were probably innocent of any charge made against them . . .

Of course the AmeriKKKan role model, the Nazis, were much more humane . . . they simply shot anybody who opposed them . . . just like the AMeriKKKans in the Fallujah seige . . .

But those brutal tactics DON'T win friends . . . brutality is met with more brutality . . . and more good Americans soldiers who signed up for home duty will die in Iraq while providing "free security services" to the AmeriKKKan oil corporations that produce tax-free profits for the corporate exeKKKutives . . .

The only hope for Americans is to organise to replace the Shrubya Texas Fundamentalist Christian Fascist regime in the White House with a real President who has policies for the people . . .

Hey LT . . . where is the obligatory "Other"??

Why can't I vote for Shrubya being C-in-C of American Armed Forces??

Oh, I see . . . the illegal, immoral, imperialist invasion occupation, carpet-bagging plus the systematic torture and genocide of over 100,000 Iraqis started during the Clinton years . . . just to divert attention away from Monica Lewdinsky . . .
