Ingrid Betancourt rescued after six years

it's about damn time

I liked her better when she was locked up (obligatory backlash)

This is the most heart warming news of the year!

I do like the photo:

nd now she is teh k.d. lang!

Misuse of the Red Cross symbol during the rescue operation = official war crime. I think they'll just have to give her back now :-(

hah in france the backlash has completely started against her

Then again, she just seems to never leave the news. I'm happy for her she's been freed but that doesnt mean I want to see her all the time everywhere. I mean, if I were in her situation I guess my first reaction on coming back would be to spend time with my family, away from the press and the government and whatever. But hey, I'm not her! And I really shouldnt complain too much about her being in the news all the time, the only paper I read regularly right now is L'Equipe and I dont have a TV.

yes, that and the whole "Jesus saved me" thing
