British Trio Freed In Gaza

Good news on the Burton family, which was freed today, two days after being kidnapped near Bethlehem.

No details were released, so it appears to have been a ransom kidnapping. Ransom paid, hostages released -- an old fashioned kidnapping. Lucky for the Burtons. Unlucky for anyone else, because if you allow ransom kidnappings to succeed, it only creates more ransom kidnappers and kidnappees.
