No, he's a brave man & a true pro.
So called journalists & reporters write crap & dross all day in the so called 'Press.'
However guys like Alan Johnstone, put themselves in the firing line to report these events, without whom, none would know about.
He was & is highly respected out there.
So much so, that hundreds of thousands of people worldwide joined together to put pressure to set him free.
It was actually Hamas who helped free him by putting pressure on the extremists of extremists, to release him. ('so called army of islam' i think)
If Hamas were busting a gut to help him, you gotta know this guy crosses boundaries in respect.
He also reported very equally, as the BBC tries to.
The locals actually love him & were as disgusted as us when he got kidnapped, as he was one of the lone voices telling of the plight.
So, you're very wrong Michael.

If no one goes to such places we'll never know what is happening in reality on such places.Journalists going such places lowers the crimes of war at least.
I am happy to hear that he is free at last.

The man is a stupid...not for being in Gaza, but for being beside the terrorists and their cause.

Beside that, Yasser Abed Rabbo councel of president Abbas said the rescate was all staged

A senior aide to Palestinian Authority Chairman Mahmoud Abbas dismissed Wednesday the release of BBC reporter Alan Johnston, calling it "a movie" staged by Hamas, who took credit for securing the release.

Yasser Abd Rabbo said Wednesday that Hamas' release of the Briton, held in Gaza for nearly four months, from the custody of militant group Army of Islam, had been staged, as the two groups were in league with each other. He said Hamas staged the rescue in order to "appear as if [Hamas] respects international law."


Jonhston as all the english and europeans will not learn the lesson and they will being more close to Londonistan....
