BAGHDAD - 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.

Sorry for locking you up in a torture chamber with no actual evidence. Here's a pack of baseball cards. What a great gesture of humanitarianism.

Which torute chamber would that be? And I don't see any mention as to whether or not they were guilty -- they were just let go. They'll probably be killed battles with our troops within a month.

Wonder how many hundreds these 500 will kill in the meantime?

There was no torture.

Have any proof there was no evidence against these dogs?

Things like shooting at our troops isn't proof silly :wank:

Slitting throats, raping women and blowing themselves up to kill our troops sounds like a great gesture too.

Wrong on both counts. The torture the inmates endured was nothing more than an isolated incident involving some very sadistic people who had a funny way of celebrating a 21st birthday.

There was plenty of evidence against these people. Abu Ghraib is not a prisoner of war camp or an insurgent prison. It is a normal, run-of-the-mill prison. You know, the kind with convicted criminals in them. The inmates at Abu Ghraib were never found fighting Americans. They were found doing things like theft, murder, armed robbery, rape, and other things you normally get thrown in prison for.

However, the "torture" was committed by individuals clearly acting in violation of the UCMJ and international laws of war.

I am STILL waiting for menewa to produce some objective, substantiated evidence that torture by the US is institutional rather than criminal acts committed by criminals.
