They sit in their solitary cells all day, uncharged with any crime. No
family member, no friend, no lawyer may visit. Their freedom depends
on a callous game of Pentagon roulette. Word filters out that they are
about to be released. Then word follows that - alas - it will take a
bit more time.
These are America's Iraqi hostages, whose captivity in a high-security
camp at Baghdad airport has already lasted for over a year. The two
women scientists whose fate has been spotlighted this week belong to a
larger group of Iraqi prisoners who should not have been held so long.
