Back in July 2007, I made the following post: First Alan Johnston, now Sami al-Haj and Bilal Hussein

They are both now out of U.S. custody.

Al-Haj, a cameraman for Al-Jazeera arrested near the Afghanistan-Pakistan border, was released from Guantanamo Bay on Friday after six years in custody.

This Guardian story about al-Haj is fairly extensive.

On April 16, Hussein, an Associated Press photographer in Iraq, was released by the U.S. military. He had been held for more than two years.

Welcome back to the land of the living, gentlemen!
