COMMENTS: I Did Not Like That At All
Richard Butler, a freelance contributor for CBS News, spoke on the record for the first time since he was kidnapped. He had been held hostage by a Shiite militia in Basra for two months. CBS' Lara Logan described his rescue by Iraqi soldiers two weeks ago. Now Butler sits down with his colleague Allen Pizzey in London. At one stage, he recalled, he was moved at night into a cell three feet wide and just long enough for him to stretch out in: "They actually plastered the door up when I was inside. I did not like that at all." Butler intends to resume his career as war correspondent but not right away: "I think I have probably used up my share of luck of the coming few months."
