I'm so glad it really happened and that they will get to be reunited with their families. I too, am hopeful that they are healthy. From the reports I've read this morning, they seem to be, so that is great news.

I certainly hope the hostages are in good shape.
I read where Trump had called Otto Warmbier's parents Friday. I'm glad they are being kept in the loop. They issued a statement saying something like "We are happy for the hostages and their families. We miss Otto." The statement broke my heart. This must be a bittersweet day for them. I'm sure they are genuinely happy for the hostages, but it must be heartbreaking for them when they think of their own son. I know they are thankful he at least died on American soil in the presence of his family.

A businessman, a teacher and an accountant. Starts off like one of those jokes. I haven't heard how long they have been held hostage by NK. Glad they are home safely.

I just saw VP Pence on the news at lunchtime saying one of the prisoners wanted to get off the plane in Alaska at a refueling stop because it had been so long since he'd seen daylight.  |

I was just watching some videos of the crowds of people lined up to see President Trump tonight in Elkhart. I'm sure it will be a high energy event with this good news of the freed captives.  |

5 top ISIS leaders were just captured. One of them was captured in February by Turkish authorities and handed over to Iraqi intelligence agents, according to Reuters. Iraqi agents then used the Telegram messaging app on his mobile phone to lure four commanders from the group to cross the border from Syria into Iraq and into a trap. They were described by the Iraqi Prime Minister as some of the most wanted not the top 5 leaders. |

I think Trump referred to them in his tweet as “most wanted.” The New York Times is referring to them as “five top ISIS officials.” CBS and other news cites are referring to them as “top leaders.” |

The most wanted is the leader Baghdadi and he is not one of the five.There are still a few more out there to get, which includes him. Top ISIS officials, yes, even top leaders is correct but this latest capture are five of some of the most wanted not the most wanted and one of them was captured way back in February. |

Screw whatever various 'labels' are being passed around, I'm just glad they've been taken out of action.

She didn't say most wanted or top 5. She said 5 top ISIS leaders. |

Are we seriously arguing over semantics? Five top ISIS leaders were captured. Can we just celebrate the fact that they are in custody?
