Good always when we are able to get the release of a U.S. citizen from any foreign country.

Yettaw was sentenced to three years for breaching security regulations, three years for immigration violations and a year for illegal swimming. Webb said he expects Yettaw to be released Sunday and will accompany him on a U.S. military flight to Bangkok, the capital of neighboring Thailand.
