State Department spokesperson Richard Boucher said U.S. officials had not been notified yet about plans to free any U.S. citizens. He denounced Iraq's "cynical barring" of captive foreigners trapped by Iraq's Aug. 2 invasion of Kuwait.

Iraqi officials did not say when the 120 would be freed, but they suggested it would be soon. The announcement marked the second time in two months Afghanistan agreed to release a large group of captives.

"He has been warned."
Her speeches "filled with rancor and hatred toward the Iraqi people, and her continued calls for beating the drums of war unequivocally show beyond a shudder that this woman is the most important balance." *"This woman is the most important balance."*
