Army of Islam Frees Alan Johnston

While we were busy grilling hamburgers, the Palestinian faction Army of Islam released Alan Johnston. No Empires is thrilled at this outcome, especially considering how unlikely it had seemed, and is interested to see whether it is true, as The New York Times reports, that in securing Johnston's release, "Hamas has undoubtedly given its image a boost and gained in respectability."
