He's finally free!


I woke up this morning to hear some very excellent news! Alan Johnston is finally free! I really thought this story would have an awful ending. Alan was kidnapped and held for 4 months in Gaza.
Journalists risk their lives to bring us news from around the World as it happens. And news from Gaza, and by extension Palestine, is really critical to highlight the plight of the Palestinian people. But with the danger and kidnappings its' no wonder that there are only a handful of Western journalists reporting from Palestine.
I think journalists and news camera men and women should be left out of the fight and not used as political pawns. It's just wrong.
