In Iraq, three members of the Christian Peacemakers Team have been freed after being held as hostages for almost four months. British Foreign Secretary Jack Straw announced the men had been rescued earlier today. The exact circumstances of their release remains unclear. According to a statement from the Christian Peacemaker Teams, no one was hurt in the rescue. The rescued men are Norman Kember of Britain, and James Loney and Harmeet Singh Sooden, both of Canada. Across the globe, families and friends of the men have been rejoicing. The men were seized in Baghdad last November along with the U.S. peace activist Tom Fox whose body was found in Baghdad two weeks ago. He had been shot and his body was dumped on a Baghdad street. The peace activists are all members of the humanitarian group The Christian Peacemaker Teams which has been documenting the abuse of Iraqi detainees and working with the families of prisoners. The CPT were the first to publicly denounce the torture of Iraqi people at the hands of U.S. forces, long before the media revealed what was happening at Abu Ghraib.
