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?
That would be awesome!
It would show those Iraqis that you can change the regime, but the game's the same...Saddam or US, the guns rule over the courts!
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.
Yeah, it will be SO awesome when a U.N. mandate is passed that says U.S. courts have no jurisdiction in the US and that other countries can come in and hold us prisoner if they think we're a threat, regardless of national sovereignty! Can you believe there are some evil folks out there (called "conservatives") who don't think that the U.N. should trump a nation's own courts? What knuckle-draggers!

Or we could try to demonstrate that we, ourselves, are not afraid of a free civilian judicial system, not afraid of democracy.
Maybe?
Bilal should die so perhaps that's why they want him released...so they can make him dead. That would be a fine solution and an excellent message to the Democrat media.
