Outstanding! I see they had to say a propaganda piece before they were free. Whatever.... as long as they are now free.

I had Fox on in the background when I heard FOX NEWS ALERT sounds and looked up to see Steve Cenanni hugging someone in the lobby of the hotel they were rushed to after their release. Olaf was right behind him and they both looked in good physical condition.

What a great relief.

As long as it wasn't a trade for terrorist prisoners.

I just heard on the radio that they supposedly converted to islam. In one video I saw on yahoo, Olaf has on a beige islamic robe. Propaganda no doubt.

I'm sure they just did what they had to do. FOX needs to move them both stateside quickly.

The title you created had to be changed to the original published title. Please help prevent duplicate threads by using only the published title of an article.

Also the article needed to be excerpted because it comes from Fox News. All material from Fox News should be excerpted and linked.

Your post in response #10 will be removed because it contains more material from the Fox News article.

Please do not add on to any excerpted article, no matter how short because in doing so you are bypassing Free Republic's copyright restrictions.

Just hope they don't have 'Stockholm syndrome', although I doubt since they're being hostage for a short time only.

That WAS the title on FOXNews a few minutes before I posted it. I added the extra line after hyphens.
