" “After the action by the Iraqi judicial committees, we reviewed the circumstances of Hussein’s detention and determined that he no longer presents an imperative threat to security,” (Major General) Stone said.
On 13 April, an Iraqi judicial commission dismissed allegations that Hussein was involved in a kidnapping."

The man was never a threat, Mr. Stone. He wasn't involved. He was kidnapped and held for two years for no reason at all.
It's a crime, unfortunately one of many. - Stevanoski, on 04/20/2008, -5/+3Lucky for him no laws against being at the minimum a propagandist for the terrorist who posed for his pictures.

There has _never_ been any substance to any of the allegations, and much evidence against the allegation. However, I think JimmySpaza is Cuban spy, and should be locked up for at least 734 days, and consider himself lucky if he is not shot.
