At 530am this morning I got the page on my blackberry that I (and all my bosses) have been waiting over 2 weeks to receive: that our colleagues are FREE. I just watched their news conference from Gaza. They both looked well, which was very heartening. And both men--instead of talking about their own personal ordeals--expressed hope that journalists will keep coming to Gaza and telling the story of the Palestinian people and hope their capture doesn't discourage one single journalist from coming. Class and such courage.
