Andrew Brunson, American pastor detained in Turkey is freed

[KMack]

Andrew Brunson, the American pastor who was imprisoned and then placed under house arrest in Turkey due to his alleged ties to an outlawed group, was ordered freed on Friday and sentenced to time served, a Turkish judge ruled.......

The court on Friday called two witnesses, following alleged tips from witness Levent Kalkan, who at a previous hearing had accused Brunson of aiding terror groups. But the new witnesses didn't confirm Kalkan's story and another prosecution witness said she did not even know Brunson.
Brunson was not the only American behind bars in Turkey on questionable charges. Several Turkish-American citizens -- including NASA scientist Serkan Golge and several workers from the United States Embassy in Ankara -- are languishing in prison alleged to have a connection to Gulen's group

That leaves the Turks with one less bargaining chip after having pissed off the U.S. I wouldn't want to be in their shoes right now !
