Chinese blogger and film-maker Wu Hao — a US permanent resident — has been released after five months in a Chinese prison. This comes after a blogosphere campaign, Congressional letters, a WSJ editorial, an op-ed by Rebecca MacKinnon in the Washington Post, and more. Who knows what led the Chinese to let him out, or even what led to them imprisoning him?

But Hao Wu is free. It is a good day. [Tags: hao_wu china]
