Yahoo! News - American Hostage 'Escapes' from Iraqi Captors
BAGHDAD (Reuters) - U.S. hostage Thomas Hamill is free three weeks after television pictures showed him being driven away by armed men following an attack on a convoy in Iraq, the U.S. military said Sunday.

Mississippi farmer Hamill was a truck driver for Halliburton subsidiary Kellogg Brown and Root, which has a major logistics contract with the U.S. military as well as another deal rebuilding the country's shattered oil infrastructure.

Happy for his family. Will we turn him into "An American Hero" even though he worked for Halliburton and not the military? (translation- will Bush somehow take credit for this?)
