In other Iraq news, an Iraqi judicial committee has called for the release of the imprisoned Associated Press photographer Bilal Hussein from a US military jail. Hussein has been jailed without charge for nearly two years. This week, a four-judge panel ruled Hussein falls under an amnesty law and should be released without delay. The US military has not responded to the order. The US has also detained without charge the Al Jazeera cameraman Sami al-Hajj, held at Guantanamo Bay for the past five years.
