Some good news this Sunday morning.

Militants in the Gaza Strip released two kidnapped journalists from the American Fox News Channel on Sunday after the men appeared on a videotape saying they had converted to Islam, Fox said.

Fox said correspondent Steve Centanni, a 60-year-old American, and New Zealand-born cameraman Olaf Wiig, 36, were in a hotel in the Palestinian coastal strip.

They hugged colleagues inside the hotel lobby before running up the stairs to a higher floor, Fox News footage showed.

"Our heroes are home," Fox anchorman Shepard Smith said in a live broadcast from New York.

It is always good news when we see the victims of kidnappers released relatively unharmed.

I have to admit I am a little surprised at how quickly it was resolved. That makes me wonder what the kidnappers gained from this.
