Detainees released from infamous Abu Ghraib prison

BAGHDAD, Iraq (AP) More than 200 detainees were released Sunday from Abu Ghraib prison after a security review deemed them no longer a threat, the U.S. military said.

It was the fifth round of releases since a review board set up by coalition forces and the interim Iraqi government began work in August following a torture scandal at the detention facility.

''We released about 250 detainees today. There were no ''high-profile'' detainees that I'm aware of definitely no high-value detainees and no women,'' said spokesman Lt. Col. Barry Johnson.

In April, publication of photographs showing naked, terrified Iraqi prisoners being abused and humiliated by grinning American guards at Abu Ghraib caused outrage in Iraq and internationally.

1. Just started reading "Chain of Command"
Wondering if anyone here has seen Link TV's "Election 2004 The Middle East Factor"?

There is an interview with a detainee from Abu Graib. It goes way beyond what we have heard in mainstream. Sodomizing detainees, masturbating on them, making them drink urine. This person's face was blurred and he was sobbing.

What are we going to do about our hideous mainstream media? They are as guilty as Bush & CO. for the cover up of a litany of things.
