#1 Go Iraqis! I'm glad he is free and the Australian government didn't pay a dime. I also hope they string up the kidnappers with pig entrails along the streetlamps as a warning to any future people thinking about this line of work.

#3 "He has been blindfolded, handcuffed, he has not been well looked after," Australia's counterterrorism chief Nick Warner said.

So, did Mr. Wood's captors not bother to follow the Geneva Conventions while he was being held? Seems to me ol' Saddy got better treatment at the hands of Americans than Mr. Wood at the hands of terrorists.

Now could someone please explain to me why the Geneva Conventions should be applied to captured terrorists..?

#7 This is actually extremely impressive. As military operations go, it takes a lot more skill to get a hostage out alive than it does to kill terrorists. (Many hostage rescue attempts against hijacked airplanes have failed, even though the terrorists were isolated and did not have an army of informants keeping them apprised of their surroundings). If Iraqi units are capable of things like this, the terrorists are in deep doo-doo. It'll take time to wipe them all out, but the writing is on the wall.
