Charges dropped against Iraqi officials

An Iraqi court dropped charges on two government officials that were accused for an incident. The U.S. Embassy spokesman Philip Reeker understood and confirmed that deputy health minister and general hameed as not guilty of kidnapping, murder, and corruption charges. They remained in American custody and so that the charges could be reinstated for any reason. Possibly for safety precautions. The court also decided to release alZamili and al-Shimmari for lack of evidence for example undocumentation and not solid enough due to basing from rumors. There was one trial that the witness failed to show up, but the reason was that Iraq does not have a witness protection program. That would definately be bad for the witness to show up the court unprotected. Al-Zamili and al-Shimmari were accused of abusing their power to help the madhi army which is based on anti-U.S. cleric. Supposedly al-Zamili's arrest last year was to believe that he stole money from the Madhi Army to increase attacks and violence involving with Iraqi citizens. Ambulances were considered to be the transporter of kidnapping victims. All of this ceased when al-Sadr declared a cease fire in late August.
All of these seems to be very suspicious and is obviously taken care of. More actions into investigating and finding out about the hospitical and clinics otherwise more kidnappings are going to happen. For these violent sectarian attacks on Iraqi citizens, it is just morally wrong. I don't understand how people can do that. What if they were actually guitly of all of this? For the charges to be dropped would just let them cause more chaos within throughout the town involving with the hopsital or clinic. To find evidance on some of these incidents is very difficult, unless they are caught in action. Darn them.
