Iraq wants smirk to release their scientists

The Guardian reports that the ISG has also made an appeal to the Pentagon for the release of several Iraqi scientists, including the supposedly notorious "Dr. Germ," Rihab Taha, and "Mrs. Anthrax," Huda Amash. The two women, along with several other scientists, have been held by the US for almost two years.

Although US Secretary of Defense Donald Rumsfeld has apparently approved the release of some of the prisoners, and the Iraqi government is not opposed to the idea, the newspaper says the scientists have been given no indication of when they may be released.

In September, the Guardian had reported that some observers in the region believe the scientists were not being released because they "know too much" about US involvement with Iraq prior to the 2003 invasion.
