I am more interested in the reasons this scientist now feel safe in releasing this information.

Aye.

I imagine being in the US is one reason. I also assume the other reasons are that his family was brought out of the country as well.

Common sense would dictate that if you were in Iraq and had information relevant to the search you would not want to stay there and you would want your family out and you would want assurances of non-prosecution and some hard cash. In that order.

If this guy sings and its made public and he suffers no retribution and kept safe, others will surely follow.
