Thomas Hamill wandered up to an American patrol in Balad, between Baghdad and Tikrit today. The press accounts are calling it an “apparent escape” though the demand by the mujahiden originally was for the Marines to end the siege of Fallujah, so I expect that it will come out that he was released after the Marine withdrawal in much the same manner as the POWs held by the Iraqis during the invasion. They also wandered up to the American soldiers on patrol in the same area after their release.
