BAGHDAD, Nov. 1 (Xinhua) -- The US military released about 500 Iraqi
detainees from the notorious Abu Ghraib prison on Tuesday, an Interior
Ministry source told Xinhua.
"The US side informed us that they decided to release 500 prisoners from
the US-run jail," the source said.
The Interior Ministry sent several buses to Abu Ghraib prison, known for
US soldiers' abuse of Iraqi prisoners, to bring the detainees to the
Baghdad International Fair in the center of the capital, the source added.
Iraqi security forces tightened security around the area of the
exhibition, where dozens of Iraqis waited for their loved kin to arrive.
Early last month, the US military freed some 1,000 Iraqi detainees from
Abu Ghraib prison in honor of the Muslim holy fasting month of Ramadan.
The US military did not confirm the ministry's information.

Why were they released?
And: "the US military freed some 1,000 Iraqi detainees from
Abu Ghraib prison in honor of the Muslim holy fasting month of Ramadan".
Well hope that wasn't the only reason :shock:

They were released because they were innocent of wrong doing after the review board looked over their files.

Ok. Lol I was wondering how many times this "released-because-they-were-innocent" thing would happen back in the good ole Saddam days
