Afghan Journalist to Be Freed--Yippee!!!!!

Oh yeah, freedom is on the march in Afghanistan...
Afghan Journalist to Be Freed: "An Afghan journalist who was recently sentenced to two years in prison for publishing controversial magazine articles about Islam, women's rights and the Afghan justice system will be released from jail later this week, officials said.

Before gaining his freedom, however, Ali Mohaqeq Nasab had to confront an agonizing choice: formally apologize for what he had published or risk being sent to the gallows."
