Alan Johnston

This is great news. I'm very pleased to be in a position to remove the blog button from the sidebar. Amidst the rejoicing though, let's not forget that many civilians and journalists have been brutally executed by groups similar to the one that took Johnston, and that five Britons remain hostage in Iraq.

Yes, the very best way to be woken in the morning. I didn't need to hear the full sentence even, the sheer pleasure in the broadcaster's voice made it absolutely clear that Johnston was safe.
