Experts Urge Release of Iraq Scientists
Former U.S. arms inspectors are calling for release of the final handful of Iraqi weapons scientists still imprisoned at Baghdad's high-security detention center, where the death of one of them remains an unsolved mystery 18 months after his battered body turned up at a local hospital.

A declassified document, meanwhile, tells of beatings and other abuse at the same Baghdad airport detention complex.

Between eight and 12 "high-value detainees" at the airport's Camp Cropper fit the weapons-scientist category, according to the U.S. command in Baghdad. They're known to include Amer al-Saadi, Iraq's liaison to U.N. inspectors in 2002-03, and Rihab Rashid Taha, a biological weapons expert of the 1980s.

All are believed to have been held for more than two years, and are still held, largely incommunicado, nine months after Charles A. Duelfer's U.S. arms hunters declared that the Iraqis had no programs to build weapons of mass destruction and had destroyed their previous banned arms in 1991.
