Update: Three hostages have arrived home in the United States.

15 hostages detained by FARC for six years in Columbia were freed today. The operation to free them was seemingly brilliant. It’s re-assuring to know that some good things still happen in this world. With so many news stories bringing us all unpleasent news, this is most certainly a relief. Who would have thought that from a country with such a bad reputation, something to good could happen.

What is really interesting, is that the article talks about how Betancourt said a prayer that morning, then she was notified that she was so be set free shortly thereafter. Kind of makes you wonder.
