Ha! No wonder nobody has been released. Reuters doesn't employ journalists.

Reuters Journalists Freed in Iraq
Two journalists working for Reuters in Iraq have been freed by the US military after being held without charge for several months. By Claire Cozens. Two journalists working for Reuters in Iraq have been freed by the US military after being held without charge for several months.

Ali al-Mashhadani, a television cameraman who was arrested in August 2005, and Majed Hameed, a correspondent for Reuters and broadcaster al-Arabiya who was detained in September 2005, were released from Baghdad’s notorious Abu Ghraib prison yesterday. Some 500 other detainees were released at the same time.

The Reuters global managing editor, David Schlesinger, said he was "delighted" the two men had been freed but still had "grave doubts" about their detention.
