A professional photographer for AP (from whom I must have stolen a couple of photos for this blog over the years), Bilal works in Iraq where he was part of a team who won a Pulitzer Prize in 2005 (for the photo below -- an execution in Baghdad).
Apparently he was very good at taking photos of attacks and the like - so good that the US Army believes that he's essentially in bed with the 'insurgents' because he's there when things happen.
So now Bilal is on trial - courtesy of the US Military, no less, which will be forwarding him to the very honest and very clean and very independent Iraqi judicial system - for being a "terrorist media operative".
This charade must be ended, and Bilal must be freed!!
Free Bilal! Let the World know!!
AP has but a page on Hussein's arrest -- which they put up just pro-forma.
PS: I suggest they also put all US Military intelligence people on trial -- for being not as good as a common photo-journalist at following what goes on on the ground or having any informants worthy of the name.
PPS: if you want to know what the arguments of the US Military are - he has good photos -- you can read an unconvincing article from that bitch Michelle Malkin. She may not have any brains but at least she knows how to copy and paste.
Actually, don't read it, it is but blogo-pollution. Just know that it's out there.
PPPS: To read from people with more brains, here's a more interesting article from the Salt Lake Tribune. Even the comments at the bottom are intelligent. Go Mormon power, vote Romney!
(naaaah, just kidding, of course not. Vote Obama!)

america's collapsing and they are now acting out of spite, not logic.
hahahha!
i can't help but laugh!
not at the arrest ofcourse...but at the "Go Mormon power, vote Romney"
I can imagine some southern cheerleaders yelling that out a football game!!!
LOL at the cheerleaders.
BTW, Bilal was freed in April 2008 - after TWO YEARS in american detention, with no charges pressed and no trial.
Vive la democratie a l'Americaine!
