The prime minister urged those being released to help in the process of rebuilding the country. The ceremony took place at a sprawling U.S. military base (Camp Victory) near the Baghdad airport.
The U.S. military says some 2,000 Iraqis are still in U.S. custody. Sunni Arab leaders have complained that many of those detained by U.S. and Iraqi forces are Sunnis.
In other news, Iraqi officials say they found seven more decomposing bodies in the Lake Thar Thar area north of Baghdad, days after 22 bodies were found in the area, which is about 100 kilometers north of Baghdad.
Also, the U.S. military says an American soldier was killed in a bomb attack Wednesday south of Baghdad.
Separately, the U.S. military says coalition forces detained six people
in a raid Monday, including a "special groups" leader thought to be
responsible for the procurement and manufacturing of roadside bombs. The
military says the raid took place in the village of Sindiyah, northwest of
Khalis.

人权组织就中国因特网异议人士案批雅虎 (Rights Group Criticizes Yahoo over Chinese
Internet Dissident Case)
大赦国际美国分部表示，雅虎公司在国会听证中就一名中国记者被捕所作道歉是不够的。这个人权组织亚洲事务负责人库马尔星期二发表一份声明，要求雅虎首席执行官杨致远解释雅虎公司将如何防止未来发生类似事件。
早些时候，众议院外交事务委员会成员批评杨致远和雅虎副总裁迈克尔.卡拉汉隐瞒有关中国当局进行一次导致记者师涛被逮捕调查的资讯。中国一家法庭使用雅虎提供的资讯判处师涛10年监禁，罪名是泄露国家机密。
雅虎公司官员为公司的行为进行了辩护，声称他们不清楚中国政府要求雅虎提供有关这名记者资讯的性质。
众议院外交事务委员会主席、民主党议员兰托斯说，他不认为美国最有智慧的公司应该在他所称的中国残酷政治镇压活动中发挥任何基本作用。
Amnesty International USA says Yahoo's apology during a congressional
hearing on the arrest of a Chinese journalist is insufficient. The human
rights group's advocacy director for Asia Kumar released a statement
Tuesday calling on chief executive Jerry Yang to explain how the
Internet company will prevent future cases from occurring.
Earlier, members of the House Foreign Affairs Committee criticized Yang
and Yahoo vice president Michael Callahan for withholding information
about a Chinese investigation that led to the detention of journalist
Shi Tao. A Chinese court used information provided by Yahoo to sentence
Shi to 10 years in prison for sharing state secrets.
The Yahoo executives defended their company's actions, claiming they
were not aware of the nature of the Chinese government's request for
information about the journalist.
Committee Chairman (and Democrat) Tom Lantos said he does not believe
America's brightest companies should be playing integral roles in what
he called China's brutal political repression.
媒体权益组织谴责中国关闭一人文社会通讯 (Media Rights Group Condemns China's Closure of
Civil Society Newsletter)
记者无国界谴责中国关闭一个受欢迎的通讯刊物，这个刊物十多年来一直在观察中国公民社会的成长。设在北京的中国发展简报的创刊编辑在与中国当局谈判失败之后宣布简报永久停刊。
在英国出生的编辑高扬10月在网站上写道，中国当局今年9月拒绝他重新入境。记者无国界星期二表示，中国政府拒绝高扬入境是为了迫使简报停刊。中国发展简报的网站设在英国一个伺服器上。
不过高扬说，他欢迎针对如何延续这份简报的存在提出的建议。
Reporters Without Borders has condemned China's closure of a popular
newsletter that has monitored the growth of civil society for more than
a decade. The founding editor of the Beijing-based China Development
Brief announced the permanent closure of the publication following
failed negotiations with Chinese authorities.
Writing on the Website in October, the British-born editor Nick Young
wrote that authorities denied him re-entry to China in September.
Reporters Without Borders said Tuesday that the government denied Young
entry in order to force publication's closure. The publication is hosted
on a server in Britain.
But Young said he was open to proposals for how the life of the
publication might be extended.
【情感信箱】Don't waste any more time
I'm in a relationship with a guy six years younger than me. It was
fine, but lately he's been cheating on me. I caught him many times. I get
upset, then forgive him and he does it again.
When I say it's over, as soon as I talk to him, he always asks for a second
chance and I give it to him hoping that he will change.
It's like a spell. I've never been that much in love since I became an
adult, and I met him after my divorce of a marriage from hell. My best
friend told me so many times about him, but I don't listen. I sometimes feel
if I stay with him, worse things will happen.
Signed, A
No more second, third, fourth or fifth chances for your boyfriend. He is
doing this for a reason: Because he knows that you will let him keep using
you physically, emotionally and financially.
Shut the door and say goodbye. There are no spells to break other than that
of you being manipulated by this guy after coming out of another abusive
relationship, which could be corrected with some help from a good counsellor.
You are right in a way that worse could happen, which would be you wasting
more days of your life on this unhappiness.
I am 41 years old and never married. I am at a point in my life where I
consistently ask myself if I will ever find love. I spent almost a decade
trying to be a celibate priest, which didn't work out.
Back in my country, I was in a few relationships that didn't work out. Since
I arrived in Canada, I have tried to find love, but all my efforts have not
yielded any result. This gives me serious concern if I will ever find love.
All the women I have tried to talk to never gave me any positive signs. If I
start talking to a woman, it doesn't last more than a few days or weeks
before she tells me she is not interested.
Will I ever find love, or am I destined to go back to the priesthood?
Signed, Seriously Confused
I really don't see a return to a cloistered life for you as an option
anymore in your destiny, and if you were to try it again, all that you would
accomplish is to learn the same lesson twice that this is not where your
journey in life is headed.
Your approach with women, although with the best of intentions, has been a
bit weak and when you disclose that you are still seeking immigration status
in Canada, it makes them wonder about your motives for a relationship.
Hang in there because the new year will bring you better things in both
areas of your life.
