Saudi citizen released from Abu Ghraib after 11 months

A Saudi businessman arrested in southern Iraq was held in extreme conditions and tortured, even though there was nothing to tie him to terrorism or the Iraqi insurgency. He was finally released only after the Abu Ghraib photos were published and the U.S. military started releasing large groups of prisoners. Even at that, he was told to get out of Iraq within 72 hours or face rearrest. One small hangup - they didn't give him back his passport.
