CPT hostages freed

Just saw the Guardian headline: the three remaining CPT hostages (Norman Kember, Harmeet Singh Sooden, and James Loney) were freed today by a British-led armed rescue mission. Their comrade Tom Fox was murdered earlier this month. I'm so glad the three remaning hostages are safe, and am also impressed by the coordination & intelligence-gathering that went into the rescue (apparently carried out by the SAS), which involved the assistance of US forces and Iraqi civilians, and was conducted without a single shot being fired.

I hope that Jill Carroll will soon be free as well.
