Funny how this works:
CNN and the US media are describing the release of 500+ Iraqis as a "magnanimous gesture"that demonstrates the good will of Paul Bremer and the US military.
Today's Guardian reports that actually the UK had put pressure on the UK for violating the human rights of these individuals, none of whom had been charged with anything.

Once again the US media blithely reprints the Pentagon's press releases and passes this off as "reporting".
