CNN.com - Peace group hostages freed in Iraq - Mar 23, 2006:
"BAGHDAD, Iraq (CNN) -- U.S. and British forces have freed three Christian aid workers held hostage in Iraq, ending a four-month ordeal in which an American captive was found dead on a Baghdad street.

No shots were fired and no captors were present when the hostages -- Briton Norman Kember, 74 and Canadians James Loney, 41, and Harmeet Singh Sooden, 32 -- were freed early Thursday, officials said...."
This is great news, especially that no additional deaths took place.

We should also note that the fourth Christian Peacemaker Team member, Tom Fox, an American, was murdered about 2 weeks ago.
