“Hundreds of convicts, including senior members of al Qaeda, broke out of Iraq’s Abu Ghraib jail as comrades launched a military-style assault to free them, authorities said on Monday.”

Anyone know to what extent these militants were captured by U.S. forces–who then didn’t bother to ensure they were securely imprisoned?
Well, there goes the neighborhood…
We turned a lot of the responsibilities for securely imprisoning, back over to the Iraqis.
Well thank god they won’t be subjected to humiliating photographs anymore, those poor souls.
Whoops.
The last U.S. soldiers left Iraq at the end of 2011. So Iraqis have probably been in charge of security at that prison for a couple of years at least.
Control of the prison was transferred to Iraqi authorities in March of 2006.
