Free at last
Going straight from 114 days in captivity to two hours of press interviews, BBC reporter Alan Johnston nonetheless looked good for the experience and sounded pretty damn chipper.
All in a day's work? Probably not. But you could be forgiven for thinking so. He described his abduction and four-month captivity as the worst time of his life. A colleague at the BBC said Johnston is a "superman".
Perhaps it's fitting that he gain his freedom on Independence Day. Happy 4th of July to one and all.

At last! Poor bugger...
Puss
It was great news to wake up to this morning.
Now if that doesnt add a beam of sunshine to your day! Hurrah! Im so glad he's out.
That's wonderful news indeed! Happy Independence Day to him!
Good to wake up to some good news for a change...
Stiff upper lip n all. Makes you proud. (I'd be a quivering jelly)
He must be feeling like a lucky man!
That was good news to see the other night.
We all agree - he was very lucky. I hope now he gets healing quickly, I bet he will have a case of post traumatic stress syndrome that will be huge!
Fantastic news. Interesting that it happened on the US holiday...
wonderful! Hope your fourth was nice.
that really is great news. I'm reading A Mighty Heart right now about the abduction of Danny Pearl and it was nice to see a headline like this come out of the Middle East for once.
wow!! what wonderful news!
no better fourth of july news could be had.
thanks for sharing :)
He seemed in remarkably good shape, but I think that he will feel the force of the emotion once the cameras are shut down and he is on his own.
