BAGHDAD, Iraq U.S. journalist Micah Garen (search), who was kidnapped in Iraq more than a week ago, was released Sunday in the southern city of Nasiriyah. Garen spoke to Al-Jazeera television, confirming his release.
Garen was interviewed by telephone by the station moments after an aide to Shiite cleric Muqtada al-Sadr (search) said the American had been released.
Garen thanked al-Sadr's representatives in Nasiriyah (search) and everyone else who worked to secure his release.

They were the reason he was kidnapped and threatened.
He said they were real nice and all. They are really nice.or.they chop off your head. Isn't there a word for this? Psychotic?
Something doesn't smell right with this...
what a sweet story. garen thanks the guy who's group captured him. what a tear jerker. sadr will now win world support. he is starting to look like arafat.
I know Arafat looks best when seeing through cross hairs... I bet the same does wonders for Al Sadr's disposition.
Mini-nuke... Just to make sure we hit him. Same for Arafat. Blame it on Iran... misfired test.
How about condemning them for creating the situation to thank them for his release in the first place!!!!
I did a search for Micah Garen and it didn't turn up. Sorry.
exactly, but garen is french. he and his fiance will name their first born after al-sadr. stay tuned.
"Micah Garen" aren't words in the title. You have to pick a distinctive word in the title more than three letters long. Say, journalist. Search by Title(date). If your article is re\cent news, you shouldn't have to look far.
Cool, thanks for the info.
a setup from the start - he was there to make a film critical of the US. he probably volunteered to be captured.
That explains it then!
The French dogma of world affairs.."capitulate don't confront"!
count me in on your theory. lets depart his as$ from new york and send him back to france.
