Florence Aubenas & Hussein Hanoun are free.

After 5 months captivity in Iraq, Florence Aubenas a journalist with Libération and her guide Hussein Hanoun al Saadi were released yesterday at mid-day and are now on their route home.

Hussein Hanoun al Saadi has chosen to remain in Baghdad, and Florence Aubenas is en route to Villacoublay airport Paris.
Florence Aubenas in one of the video appeals she made for her release in which she spoke of her impending insanity.

They were kidnapped on January 5.

The 44 year old woman was seen with guns to her head making a harrowing appeal for assistance amidst cries that she was going insane earlier during her captivity.

She has been a war correspondent for Libération for over 17 years.

This is how the news broke less than an hour ago:-
http://www.liberation.fr/page.php?Article=303376

The French government are saying very little as their longest hostage case since the Iraqi war began ends.
Though no doubt there will be speculation on payment of a ransom.

The campaign for their release continued through what at times seemed futility, as their stay in captivity went so long beyond that of fellow journalists Georges Malbrunot and Christian Chesnot who were released in December 2004.

But the last events to draw attention to the case included a two day internet concert details available here:

fear. the word missing in the line above is *fear*
its not written near as much as it ought be.
it somehow doesn't suit us, its such an odd little word.
I have observed across teh long years, & I like many of the collective ;-) began "doing this" before the internet afforded it some advantages, that "*fear*" comes with all the other subjects of our sentances- "war", "corruption", "brutality", "starvation".

Florence Aubenas is a hero to her nation, and a champion of much of which her state arguably the strongest of any state-nation combination (jauyuzhes this sounds like rap!)
the combination of state and nation!
(go with it explore the medium)
television and hesitation!
(lets end it there)

while you are at that page checking out the latest messages of good will and support for Florence and Hussein, you can buy "10 years of Chirac" online with your credit card, for only €7.90 and it will be sent to you for a small nominal extra surcharge, for liveth do we now in a free and common market with single currency & you might be interested.
