The three Christian Peacemakers hostages have been freed- by US and British troops, who were acting on a tip from a man who was captured by US troops only hours earlier.

Mostly, I'm glad they're OK. Then comes my internal debate about the troops' participation in all of this; but there's a time for that, and that's not now. Now I'll just be happy for the release, and continuing to remember Tom Fox's family and friends.

...Thanks for mentioning the book- it occurs to me that our Quaker Meeting should have a copy.

Yes, it was tragic. People in the Meeting were glad to meet a number of his other friends at his memorial. He travelled in interesting circles.

Glad to hear from you. It was a nice surprise! :)

Keep the stories coming please. :)
