Free Alan Johnston!!

[dysfunction]

And he has been!! After 114 days being kidnapped he is now free from his captivity in Gaza!!


BBC NEWS | World | Middle East | BBC's Gaza correspondent released


He seems remarkably well mentally after all that in his interview straight after being released.

Its quite an ordeal to have been through.

 

[Frizz]

Shit, that's fantastic news. I had serious doubts whether he would. I can't imagine how relieved his family are right now.

 

[TdC]

nice one. the poor bugger's going to be in some state for a while though o0

 

[Munkey]

I freed Alan Johnston!

I added my name to the petition and then a few hours later he was freed!

But seriously, fucking glad he's safe now, was starting to worry he'd end up like the missing Israeli soldiers and never seen again.

 

[Chilly]

he abducted madeline too

 

[Guest]

fs its only been like 2 minutes, what about terry waite, 1,763 days of the bastards.

glad he's back to write a book about his time as a hostage of the bad people (employee's of hamas)

What, you really thought that anyone else was holding him, DOH

 

[Chilly]

was it really hamas? they only released him when they started blowing people up looking for him, although it could all have been a ruse.

 

[Guest]

correct, whats a few dead people when you might get the backing of the UN after your coup d'état.

it might be wrong, bit only time will tell, stranger things have happened.

 

[Draylor]

brooky wrong? nah, couldnt possibly be, that never happens

For a guy thats been locked up for 114 days hes looking fine and giving interviews that make him appear in far better condition than could reasonably be expected.

Wonder where he'll end up reporting from next ...

 

[Guest]

another one of my many fans, i love both chilly and draylor, you make me complete.......

 

[TdC]

a hot man-love threesome!

 

[Guest]

its ok teedles, you can have first go, as long as you spread vegemite over me.....


or was it marmite ;P

 

[Thadius]

Good, shows it is possible to negotiate with "New" Palestine, which has been critisized for being "extremist".

Maybe those Jewish factions in Israel can do the same and finally get a peace deal going

 

[dysfunction]

Well if its what the others above have been saying is true then hamas were negotiating with themselves over his release in a grand theatre style show.

I guess you couldnt ignore this theory but not sure they would be that desperate to pull a stunt like that

 

[Draylor]

Either way it was terrorist scum vs terrorist scum: does anyone actually care for more detail than that?

 

[dysfunction]

Well yes because hamas are trying to convince everyone that they are no longer a terror organization and are now a respectable government.

 

[Ch3tan]

They have to give that image though Dys, or Israel will go right back to killing them just because they can.

 

[Draylor]

And? Noones going to believe Hamas arent terrorist scum anymore than theyll believe Sinn Fein arent.

And no, politicians pretending not to notice when it suits them dont count
