Finally released

Somewhere Michelle Malkin is jumping about a quarter-inch off the ground in outrage — which is usually a sign that someone somewhere has had something positive happen.

The U.S. military says it will release Associated Press photographer Bilal Hussein after more than two years in custody.

The statement said Hussein will be freed Wednesday now that Iraqi judicial committees have granted him amnesty for all allegations.

Hussein, a Pulitzer Prize winning photojournalist had been held in custody by the U.S. Military for just over two years.

"We welcome the release of Bilal Hussein, which is long overdue. But there are many other Iraqis who have been held for months or years by U.S. forces without being charged or brought before a judge," said Joe Stork, Middle East director at Human Rights Watch. "If the U.S. and Iraqi authorities have evidence against detainees they should charge them and give them a fair trial, rather than holding them indefinitely."
