- Ali Mashhadani, Reuters. Mashhadani, a freelance photographer and
cameraman for Reuters news agency, has been held incommunicado and
without explanation by U.S. forces since August 8. Mashhadani was
taken from his home in Ramadi during a general sweep of the
neighborhood by U.S. Marines who became suspicious after seeing
pictures on his cameras, Reuters quoted his family as saying. He is
being held in Abu Ghraib Prison. Reuters reported last month that a
US-Iraqi Combined Review and Release Board (CRRB) had determined that
Mashhadani posed a "threat" and ordered his continued detention. U.S.
officials told Reuters that Mashhadani would be denied access to
counsel or family for 60 days, but would be granted a review of his
case within 180 days. Officials have yet to substantiate the basis for
his continued detention.

Lemme see if I've got this straight?

A previously arrested by US forces - Reuters photographer and "reporter" happens to be one of 2 people who run a "Human Rights" organization.

How convenient.
