First it was suspected of murder , then unregistered gun charges , and now a few are released and two are still detained on illegal substance charges ! sounds like they are determined to arrest someone over this murder no matter who it may be !


BAGHDAD, Iraq (CNN) -- Three of five Americans contractors detained in Baghdad have been ordered released by an Iraqi judge, because of insufficient evidence, a court spokesman said Thursday.

The other two other contractors remain in custody, according to Judge Abdul Sattar al-Beeraqdar, a spokesman for Iraq's Higher Judicial Council.

One of the men has been released on bond, the U.S. Embassy in Baghdad confirmed Thursday.

The embassy did not identify the man, who was released Wednesday. However, a spokesman for his employer, Corporate Training Unlimited, said it was Donald Feeney. Judy Feeney, Donald's wife, also confirmed his release
The contracting company said the release of the others has been delayed because of a procedural issue.
But al-Beeraqdar said, without naming names, that two contractors were being held on charges involving "illegal substances" found on the men when they were taken into custody.
