Rodger Morrow reports that Bobby Levinson has been released to American officials in Iraqi Kurdistan.  We’ll try to update later with references to Morrow’s sources.

Our thanks again to Morrow for being ahead of the ‘sphere on this story.

We won’t actually be entirely relieved until we hear direct confirmation that he’s back with his family, friends and admirers -  who are sufficiently numerous to populate a medium-sized island.
