"Lieutenant Colonel Barry Johnson, the spokesman for the US-led Multinational Force, did say that US officials on Saturday released eight people formerly designated as high-value detainees, after a board process found they were no longer a security threat."
Great. Didn't we just found out that the Iraqis had Zarqawi last year and released him, wasn't that a great idea?! What do they think these former Baath officials with lots of technical knowledge are going to do?
I bet Bin Laden and Zarqawi is on the phone with them already, offering them $$$$$.
No, we did not. We have seen numerous articles claiming that the Iraqis MAY have captured Zarqawi, but they did not know it was him and subsequently released him.
