WoT: Kos rescued by US 'mercenaries'

Well almost...

Businessman Jerzy Kos arrived home after being freed from Iraqi insurgents Tuesday in Baghdad with another Pole and three Italians.

"I am very moved to be back in Poland and to be alive," Kos said at Warsaw airport after stepping off his plane, his face pale and voice trembling. "I am so moved, I can hardly speak."

The 64-year-old construction company director described his rescue as a lighting-quick operation.

For more counter-malaise goodness, Australian blogger Arthur Chrenkoff has started an excellent new segment - aptly named "Good news from Iraq" - on his equally excellent blog. Check it out to reload with more such news out of Iraq that you won't likely see in the mainstream media.

...And there's no funky network aftertaste either.
