I have notice that things appear to be moving along better in Iraq now that the media is focused on evil federal government's non-responsive action after that attack of mother nature.

****Report: U.S. Contractor Abducted In Iraq Rescued By U.S. Troops****

http://www.kcra.com/nationalnews/4943941/detail.html

POSTED: 8:31 am PDT September 7, 2005
UPDATED: 8:38 am PDT September 7, 2005

A U.S. contractor who has been held captive in Iraq since 2004 has been rescued by U.S. troops, according to CNN. Roy Hallums has been in captivity since Nov. 1, 2004.

Roy Hallums' ex-wife, Susan Hallums, said she spoke with the father of her children Wednesday morning and that he was free and alive. She said he is free, after being held for more than 300 days.

"I believe all things are possible if you believe," Susan said.

She said she hopes the reunion with Roy will be this weekend.

The conspiracy will be: "Bush left this guy in captivity until he needed to distract us from all the poor black people he murdered in New Orleans."

Here is the story about the kidnapped contractor Found it on Foxnews.com

BAGHDAD, Iraq — American contractor Roy Hallums (search), who was taken hostage last November in Iraq, has been released, his ex-wife said Wednesday.

"I can confirm he's been released," Susan Hallums, 53, told The Associated Press by telephone. "Considering what he's been through, I understand he's in good condition."

Hallums, a 57-year-old worker for a Saudi company that does catering for the Iraqi army, was seized Nov. 1 along with two other foreigners after a gunbattle in the upscale Mansour neighborhood. An Iraqi guard and one attacker were killed.
