We counted him out. We counted him back in again.
04 July 2007. Inspired by very unexpected pleasure.
So, yes, I did squawk with delight when I read that he's free. Now that it's done, I can say this without sounding callous: my favourite bit was the way he never lost his journalistic tone or objectivity, even when filmed by a not-quite-BBC-standard cameramen. "I appear to be wearing what they claim is a suicide belt..."
Hero.
