hmmm, wonder if money exchanged hands.
I am glad these fools were released but hope they keep their mouths shut. So the torture/murder rate for this group was 25%.
I suspect we'll hear how their captors were kind and how the US is evil.
Idiots.
Here's the story from Reuters
Three hostages freed in Iraq
From correspondents in Baghdad
March 23, 2006
THREE western aid workers held hostage in Iraq were freed today, the British Embassy and US Colonel John Snow said.
Canadians Harmeet Sooden, 32, and Jim Loney, 41, and Briton Norman Kember, 74, from the Christian Peacemaker Teams, who were abducted in November, were found west of Baghdad, he said.
He declined to say who found them or how they were released.
The three were kidnapped in Baghdad with US colleague Tom Fox, who was executed by his kidnappers earlier this month.

Also confirmed on KDKA radio Pittsburgh 5 AM newscast.
They were rescued...not "freed".
What part of planned "military operation" would include the paying of a ransom?
Sounds as if a ransom was paid ...
"A British official said no captors were present when the men were found. There were no casualties in the operation, an embassy official said.
Doug Pritchard of Christian Peacemaker Teams also told reporters in Toronto the hostages were unguarded. He said no gunshots were fired."

The terrorist got ratted out by one of their own that got captured about 3 hrs earlier.
The 'savehouse' was empty, except the tied hostages.
...from what I've read.
