This Associate Press report about an Iraqi by the name of Yahya Ali Humadi should help to shatter any illusions that you might have the Iraq is a sovereign state and that the United States is not an omnipotent (illegal) occupier. Humadi, who had been detained by American forces in Baghdad over a year ago after a raid on his home. They charged him with illegally possessing weapons (what no Second Amendment!) and attacking US forces for a three judge Iraqi court found that the evidence provided by the Americans did not support the charges and ordered Humadi released. That was in July of last year. Humadi is still being held, without charge, at an American detention camp. The Americans insist this is all legal and above board and most importantly "in the spirit" of the Geneva Conventions. Mr. Humadi and his attorneys are not so sure and neither am I.
