According to the Committee to Protect Journalists, the U.S. military is prosecuting an award-winning Associated Press photographer, Bilal Hussein. The forces of freedom and democracy and other good things have detained Hussein for more than 19 months without charge for alleged links to Iraqi insurgents. Of course, the U.S. military has not revealed evidence of the journalist's alleged criminal wrongdoing.
Hussein, an Iraqi citizen, worked as a freelance photographer for the AP in the volatile cities of Ramadi and Fallujah. His work brought the AP a Pulitzer Prize for photography in 2005. He was taken by U.S. forces and held in a U.S. prison in Iraq. Since Hussein's detention, U.S. officials have made numerous, shifting allegations against the journalist.
