Saddam did this, it was bad.

Bremner does it, he's some sort of saint.

The US-led coalition in Iraq plans to release 506 prisoners, with the first batch of 100 to be freed on Thursday.

The top US administrator in Iraq, Paul Bremer, said it was a goodwill gesture aimed at reconciliation.

Mr Bremer said he wanted to give some of those prisoners a fresh start.

"In a gesture to give impetus to those Iraqis who wish to reconcile with their countrymen, the coalition will permit some currently detained offenders to return to their homes and families," he said.

Goodwill my butt !

If anything, these "prisoners" that are going to be released have probably been "convinced" to spy for the USA and turn in "insurgents" or whomever to "earn" their "freedom".

At this point I do not believe that anyone remotely connected with the BFEE does anything just for "goodwill".



And what is the idea of the hoods? - so they don't know where they are going ?

Right - just another demoralizing method of the BFEE and it's minions
