Fox News' Steve Centanni and Olaf Wiig are out of Gaza. No word yet on how this was accomplished, although BBC World's Anita McNaught, Olaf's wife, opened a televised news conference prior to the pair's arrival in Jerusalem by stating an obvious fact: they will never be able to acknowledge some players in the process.

It is good to be relieved for the sake of the families and employers involved -- and it's nice to hear some good news for a change.

Both journalists looked to be the picture of health. Pictures can be deceiving, though, and I hope they do both enjoy good health, get crucial rest and continue to find happiness in their pursuits.

How kidnappings, abductions and detentions, supply lines and funding sources play into a commitment to end terrorism remains a volatile issue. Figuring out how governments, non-government militias and fringe terrorist groups interact -- and who gets the guns and bread when, how and from whom -- are questions that brighter minds than mine must continue to try to address.

In the meantime, two guests at the Hotel Terror were able to check out. They did, indeed, leave.
