re: #167 watching you tiny alien kittens are

Good news, but I wonder how much NBC’s kidnap insurance ended up paying out?

Read the whole thing. He was freed during a battle, not because a ransom was paid:

“The prisoners were being moved to a new location in a vehicle when their captors ran into a checkpoint manned by members of the Ahrar al-Sham brigade, a Syrian rebel group. There was a confrontation and a firefight ensued. Two of the captors were killed, while an unknown number of others escaped, the network said. The NBC News crew was unharmed in the incident.”
