Reuters calls for US to release Iraqi cameraman

[Perry Winkle]

This is one of the reasons I get an icky feeling about the U.S. govt. If they would at least talk to people and say "Here is what's going on...", "These are our concerns regarding this individual..." then I would feel a lot better about how things are going.
I mean they can be reasonably vague so they don't reveal their investigation while putting people at ease that something that's "Ok" is being done.
