I know this is on the Iraqi War board, but really thought such wonderfully good news might additionally be shared here on the 'regular' CB.

Link to news story on this wonderful news

Thanks for the info Dan! I was so scared for these people! Some prayers are getting answered!

(I don't check into the other board that often, so having this here is especially nice!)
 
That is wonderful news! Thanks for letting us know Dan. :D
 

Thank God! I couldn't forget how scared that woman looked as she was shown nationally after she was captured. Now the picture of her being freed (with the others as well) will take it's place! Thanks for the good news Dan!

Amen
 
This is such wonderful news. I had quietly figured they had been lost but this is so wonderful. I have gotten too much war news as we have it on all day. I decided to leave it off today and look what happens!!!! Guess I will have to watch a bit today afterall!!!
 
That is so fantastic. I, too, had figured they were lost-- especially when Jessica Lynch was found and they weren't.

The smiles are so self-evident. :Pinkbounc
 
Thank God!! I am sure their families are ecstatic! Thanks for sharing the good news!
 
Thanks for posting this on the CB,Dan. This is the board I cruise most often and as I haven't had the news on yet,I might have missed it. Great news!
 
I was so delighted to hear the good news this morning! All I kept thinking was, "Thank you, God, for their safe return." I'm so happy for all of their families.

tears of sadness last week for David Bloom and now tears of joy for those rescued.

Thank God for decent people who help find them.

Ditto to what everyone already said.
Wasn't this the best news? Their families must be so relieved.
