US flies escaped Iraqi prisoner out of Iraq

The former Iraqi minister who escaped from Iraqi custody turns out to have been a US expat brought into Iraq by Bremer and has donated to the Republican party in his home state of Michigan. Now we find out,

A fugitive former Iraqi minister, with dual U.S. citizenship, flew to Jordan in an American plane after escaping from a Baghdad jail earlier this month, Jordanian Prime Minister Marouf Bakheet said on Tuesday......

A Western diplomatic source familiar with the case and who requested anonymity said: "American secret service officials put him on board a U.S. military plane from Baghdad airport on Friday and brought him to Jordan".

The US is officially denying this. (Here's two Reuters pieces on the escape.) There's so much more to this story than we're getting.
