happy you are safe, eager to hear your report. peace.
K, are you on double probation?
You are free, thank god!!
Welcome back! A lot of people were worried about you, it's a big relief to know you're safe.
God bless, bro.
thank god. we were about to lose the only human (read: not mainstream-media, not "embedded") account of the occupation.
what did they want from you?
I am so glad to hear you are out and safe! I thought about you a lot when I heard you were first missing. I was so worried about you, as were many people. So glad to know that you are safe now. God Bless you and your family.
K,
I am so glad you and your mom are back home in Amman. I was very very worried. Rest up and relax for awhile, then back to work defeating the lies and liars.
peace, Susan
Susan that would be the Baathist scum and sunni mafia you're refering to..correct!
glad you are safe; many, many people you have never met are touched by your family and your individual works. rest up, be well, and tell us what you can--a whole world of friends is waiting.
My warmest congratulations to the whole family on the very good news!
I am so happy that you are safe.
You have many people all around the world that care about you and your family (and other Iraqis) very much.
It's nice to see you're alright. I thought I'd have to bust in to that place with an AK and get you out. I'm not ready to do that again.

It's great news to know you're safe and out of the country. As a couple of commenters have noted, a lot of people have been watching and petitioning. You have a great family.
We look forward to hearing from you, once you've been able to rest and recover. Cheers.
Please keep safe, Khalid. We were all very worried about you and also very sorry for Faiza who must have been suffering greatly during your ordeal. It is so sad that you have to leave Iraq to be safe. Love to you and all your family.
Khalid,
Though not knowing you and your wonderful family directly, I feel like I do and and was overjoyed when CSH left a message at Free Iraq that you are FREE! Having signed the petition for your freedom I am so proud to note the company I keep with people around the world. The scourge of what has been visited upon Iraq is hideous. The people of Iraq (and elsewhere) are wonderful. That is something to celebrate. May we live to see freedom come to your land and all its people. Peace to you and yours.
Welcome back, Khalid! :-)
This is all I can say at the moment because I'm too (^_^) (emoticon a-la Japonais(e)) for words.

Hey dude! I knew you'd be ok because you're a tough guy, even though you don't believe in violence.
I'm glad you're safe and your family can now relax a little bit.
Take care, ok?
Glad to hear you are safe. You were in my prayers. Sometimes things do go right.
Wonderful, look after yourself.
As an American blogger I felt the need to seek you out and say Thank God you are free.
Please do tell us of what is happening there and we will do our best to pass it on.
Peace be with your family. We are relieved you are safe.

Thank God. Your life touched us in Canada and around the world. We care very much.
It's amazing how lovable he is.. :)
He is a cutie, it's true.
Khalid,
I just heard about your abduction from a comment on Salam Pax's blog...even though I don't know you, I was very worried! Thank GOD that you're okay! I hope that this blog hasn't brought you too much trouble. I really enjoy reading it.
Whew...what a relief!
Can't wait to hear the story behind this one, Khalid. VERY glad you are safe.

congratulations on your safe return. forgive me if i do not cut/paste the entire bible. just like if you were killed i would not blame God, I do not attribute your safekeeping to him either. the only thing that can protect us from each another is to stop playing the game of vengeance. if my own christian mother is killed by al Qaeda the most efficient thing for me to do for mankind is exactly nothing. too bad neither bush, nor muslims, nor anyone i know for that matter, has been selfless enough to do ever this. gee, i guess that is why the story of jesus is so popular. people think it is "cute" to make up some perfect guy who does everything we humans are supposed to do, then proceed to do EXACTLY THE OPPOSITE! ah humans, we're so rediculously stupid, aren't we? anyway, i digress! :) i'm glad you are alive.
Thank Allah for your safe return, dear friend.. try to stay safe now, man.. once bitten twice shy لا يلدغ المؤمن من جحر مرتين
be careful my friend.. salam to Majid and the family, congratulations again..

I found your link from the above quoted story.
I am glad that you are okay, and I hope things will start getting better soon.
Keep reporting the truth as best as you can, people do listen.

welcome back khalid ...^^v^^
Hey big guy! Nice to see you safe and sound. Take it easy a little and we'll read your posts when you're nice and relaxed.
This is the first time I've come across your site and I'm very happy that you are alright. It must feel good to be with your family again.
I'm anxious to hear about your travails, so I'll keep checking back here.
Take care.
Mark
VERY happy you are safe. Write about your experiences and tell the story of the thousands rotring in American jails in Iraq!
Peace!
That's rotting....
I am so happy to learn you are safe. all blessings with you and your family.
it's mark thats rotting
Welcome back Khalid!
I'll mail you today. I'm very happy that no 'accident' befell you while in custody...
Dude I'm so glad you're safe. May God bless you and your family. :)
Khalid,
I was so pleased to log on the other day and learn that you had been released! I'm another one of those people you don't know, but you've been much in my thoughts these last two weeks. I learned of your disappearance on Riverbend's blog. (A portion of her blog was printed in a magazine here in the U.S., and I've been checking in with it periodically since learning about it.) Now I am reading the blogs of you and your family members as well. (I think your mom is amazing!) I am thankful to you and all the bloggers for your words. You make the world a smaller place, and you inspire me to work harder against injustices. I pray for the day when your country is returned to you.
Rebecca
Good to see you back.
Welcome back. I am glad you are safe. Take care
Two questions for Tall Dave:
1) Are you now, or have you ever been, in Iraq? (Just curious.)
2) Have you read Khalid's mother's latest postings?
Good to see you are safe.
Keep us posted!!!
May this all end soon.
stay safe!!!
Peace
this is to tall daiv.
if i were you i would read more about the new Iraq, obviously you're Iraq, but it's obvious too that you've been a way for a while.
so i would suggest that you contact your relatives or whomever you have in Iraq and ask them what are the differences between saddam and the americans meanwhile.
and jsut a question; if you're so proud of the new Iraq? are yuo plannig to go there at least for a visit?
this is Waleed Rabiaa, and jsut for the record i left Iraq 9 months ago, i was born rasied over there.
Just as a matter of curiosity, did the real Mukhabarat(spelling?) allow their detainees to "phone home"?
Also, after reading the absolute drivel that Faiza wrote about her visit to the U.S., how is anyone with half a brain supposed to believe what she has to say about Iraq?
Good to hear you're back. Ignore the haters (that includes the trolls on this thread), and focus on what's good in life.
Take care!
Khalid > I was sleeping, relaxfully...
...
Khalid > I am in Amman, just arrived few hours ago.
will tell you more later inshalla...
I look forward to read your story, Khalid!
One question which constantly comes
to mind: Do you think you (or whoever
else from your family) was lured
back to Iraq through this breakin?
RobinH
For Dave, while certain things are relative, if you TRULY believe in a democratic society run according to prinicples of free speech, etc., it really doesn't matter if you are in the "new" Iraq or the "old" Iraq, this sort of thing is not supposed to happen and should not be tolerated. And btw, how neo-colonialist of you to imply that one should be grateful that human rights get abused just a little in the new Iraq and should Iraqis not be properly grateful, things could easily go back to what they were.
A little course in colonial history WOULD NOT kill you , bud.
R.
Fantastic news. Hope you are well and there are no lasting ill effects on you and the family, (physically & emtionally). When you are bouncing your grandchildren on your knee you will have a story to tell them.
All the best.
Regards
Greg
Glad you are back home and safe. Look forward to hearing your story
Welcome back Khalid! I am glad to here you're safe.
Welcome back :-)
Is there someone reading this thread who is pro "New Iraq" and living in or recently departed from Iraq? This in not a rhetorical question. In the interest of full disclosure I will reveal that I am a politically liberal American, but I am seeking understanding and a more balanced view of the situation in Iraq. What I seem to be encountering most (here and elsewhere) is anti-occupation Iraqis vs. Americans and other foreigners telling Iraqis what is best for them. I'm not discounting the right of each of these groups to speak up (though I dislike it when the debate slips for discussion into unhelpful name-calling), but I would love to hear from someone who represents what seems to me to be the missing part. Have I missed it (perhaps because of the anonymity of many posters)? Is there someone in/from Iraq who would like refute Faiza's (Kahlid's mother's) portrait of life in current Iraq (with specific counterpoints, not vague mud slinging, please). Thank you.
I am glad to hear that you are home and safe.
I am elated that you've come home safely. It is fantastic to hear good news in the present climate when everything seems disasterous.

Vague mud slinging? Perhaps. More like impatience with one woman's politcally skewed, half-baked assessment of the U.S.
There are other Iraqi blogs besides the Jarrars who give a little fairer analysis of what is going on in Iraq. Is it perfect? Hardly. But Faiza's mockery and innuendo do not seem like an unbiased account. Try
Hmmm, another blog that doesn't like that link command. O.K., try this:
Iraq the Model
Thank you, lynette.
You're welcome, Anonymous.
khaaalid WHERE ARE U? :( We want to know what happened? Or did you promise the mukhabarat you won't blog again if released? :S
So glad you are safe & sound - peace to your family, especially to your parents.
im sure that after everything khalid's been through, the last thing he wants to do right now is relive it straight away so that we can know what happened... let him rest and recover and be with his family, let him enjoy his freedom that so many others are denied, and not think about his ordeal so soon... we know he is safe and he knows that he is loved and that is enough for now
:*)
and whoever is so obviously trying (and failing) to imitate, you are usually beneath my notice but... really, what a pathetic, small, person you must be and what a meaningless life you must lead if this is what you do with your spare time. a waste of life.
inchab ya wal inchab...
Khalid, alhamdulillah you are safe... I pray for you and your family. Keep strong and keep writing. May Allah be with you always.
You've been in my thoughts and prayers; I'm so happy to read that you are ok. Be safe!
are you serious Khalid, or just yanking my chain? It was Sunni's that kidnapped you?
Anonymous
That wasn't Khalid who said that. It was some smart assed imposter. Click on the name. By the way, Khalid, I am glad you are safe and I know you will blog again when you are able. Keep safe!
I really love that family.. :-)
Don't pay any mind to those haters, Khalid. WE LOVE YOU! :) I sure am glad you are safe. I'm gonna continue to think and pray for those innocent Iraqis who are still locked away. Much love! <3
Those haters must really HATE how much we LOVE khalid and his family :-).
Khalid,
I just wanted you to know that if you are having nightmares and feeling anxious, it is very normal after your experience.
I hope of course, that you are feeling well! When you are ready, I hope you will share your experience.
