Journalist's Prison Sentence Cut
His family declared it a "victory for the Iraqi people," his attorneys exclaimed that it indicated the "independence and the integrity of the Iraqi judiciary system." The Federal Appeals Court today cut Muntathar al Zeidi's prison sentence from three years to one. His attorneys believe that, with time already served, he may be released in five months. Good news.
