(Reuters) - Hundreds of convicts, including senior members of al Qaeda, broke out of Iraq's Abu Ghraib jail as comrades launched a military-style assault to free them, authorities said on Monday.

You can imagine the outrage that Americans can feel. While the government claims it's spying on you to protect you and fight terrorism, they are failing at the most basic premise of their mandate.
