How about, “We can’t. We’ve misplaced him.”?

“The U.S. military has accused Bilal Hussein, an Iraqi, of working with insurgents in Iraq. He was seized in April 2006 in Ramadi, capital of western Anbar province, and has been imprisoned without charge ever since.”
Sounds like he was charged with helping out insurgents.
Why did they write that he was accused of something and then write that he was being held without charge?

Tom Curley, the Associated Press president, hailed the decision and demanded that officials "finally do the right thing" and free Bilal Hussein. Great. Release him into a hogpen at feeding time.

***The ruling also said Hussein should be immediately released if no other charges are pending.***
First, if he had not been charged with any crimes before then there can be no “other” charges pending. Second, change him on other charges.

He ain't goin nowhere.
****U.S. military authorities have said a U.N. Security Council mandate allows them to retain custody of a detainee they believe is a security risk even if an Iraqi judicial body has ordered that prisoner freed. The U.N. mandate is due to expire at the end of this year.
Also, the amnesty committee's ruling on Hussein may not cover a separate allegation that has been raised in connection with the case.****

That was a short lived moment for Bilal and the AP.

And if there were no charges, why would the court order that legal proceedings AGAINST him be stopped?

The Iraqi judicial committee dismissed those particular charges based on their amnesty law. I’m sure it will be spun by the left as a repudiation of the accusations against him when it was actually just a bureaucratic action without consideration of the merits of the case.

The amnesty law also gives the US military the right to continue to detain anyone they feel a danger. He’s obviously an enemy propagandist and dangerous.

a four-judge panel in Baghdad ruled that Hussein's case falls under a new amnesty law and ordered Iraqi courts to "cease legal proceedings." They are claiming that the charges "no longer apply".
Sounds like they know he was guilty as charged.

But of course AP would rally behind the guy. They’ve rallied behind Al Qaeda for five years.

We will release him immediately. Will his next of kin please be sure to bring proper photo identification so we can ensure we release the body to the correct family members.

They're supportive most of the terrorists organizations.
There's a reason I call them the enemedia.

Yep. A hell of a lot. Making it look like the IDF was just bombing indiscriminately. Unnecessarily causing too much destruction.
