about that, how much he credits the president for his release, in fact through his congressman, dan kildeever the last couple of years as this unfo unfolded. frankly, as his family worked tirelessly for his releaf. he made a point through that office to release a statement in support of the president, especially in light of a heavy criticism the president has received about this. the white house, of course, who says that they have worked tirelessly for this. if you take politics out of it, there are people who are tasked with being in touch with these families. in other words, being a go-between, between the white house and this administration and the families. there's been some criticism in the past how that was handled. and the white house has made an effort to. prove that. but obviously, for a lot of people here, this is a day of celebration, to see him get off that plane and it's practically impossible to put into words what it must mean for his family who for the last 4 1/2 years who have lived for this, through his uncertainty, fought so hard to see that he gets release the, craig. >
