      Let's pick apart everything.

      Glad they're going home.

        As someone has already said, there was no chance of this happening - the British were in charge

          First saw it on the elevator news in my office. Also reported in the Globe.

              Honestly, Joint Task Force 2 is a sweet name for a commando unit.

              It's got that understated quality to it...

              CBC is ascribing knowledge of Canadian special forces' participation to Pentagon sources.

                Well, they got all dressed up and brought guns and ammo...either that or it shows that the pacifists really got to those hossie takers...

                  It's hard to be hit by friendly fire when you're not using anything more deadly than a truncheon and possibly a small knife.
                  One day Canada will rule the world, and then we'll all be sorry.

                    The former hostage went on to express his thanks to "the British soldiers who risked their lives to rescue us, to the government of Canada who sent a team to Baghdad to help secure our release" and to those who prayed for the captives.
