Boston.com -- Families frustrated by delayed releases

"BAGHDAD -- Hundreds of Iraqis waited for hours outside a Baghdad prison yesterday in hopes their relatives would be included in a much-publicized release. About 80 men were freed, but US officials said they weren't part of the amnesty, and most Iraqi families left disappointed and angry at America.

'Liars! Liars! They won't let them out!' one woman screamed in dismay before fainting. A coalition spokesman insisted the prisoner release was on track, but would be done quietly for reasons of 'security and privacy.'

US administrator L. Paul Bremer III announced Wednesday that US occupation forces would free 506 of some 12,800 Iraqi detainees. The first 100 were to be released yesterday from Abu Ghraib prison, Bremer said."

Is this winning the hearts and minds of Iraqis?
