Australian Hostage Freed by Iraqi Troops

That’s good news. Here’s a little snippet:

Australian Douglas Wood, taken hostage six weeks ago in Iraq, has been freed in a military operation, Australia’s prime minister says.

Foreign Minister Alexander Downer, speaking in a TV interview, said Wood was said to be in good physical shape but mentally exhausted.

"An Iraqi military unit managed to release him through military action," said Wood, who would not say exactly where the operation took place.

‘Course, I had to dig deep into CNN’s World page to find the story, cause the AP story, which is one of Yahoo News’ Top Stories, and picked up by most, including FoxNews, spends 2/3rds of the story yapping about a homicide bomber attack. The story doesn’t even give Iraqi troops any credit for helping to release Mr. Woods. Asshats.
