The planned release Thursday of 100 Iraqi captives held by U.S. forces did not take place, angering prisoners' relatives who had gathered at Baghdad's notorious Abu Greib prison. The releases were to be the first phase of an amnesty announced for 500 Iraqi prisoners by U.S. administrator L. Paul Bremer. Bremer had described the move as a conciliatory gesture. NPR's Anne Garrels reports.
