Now if I were a militant Islamist party, politically neutered and isolated and in control of an immiserated islet on the Mediterranean, I'd start impressing the world like this too:
Mr Johnston was kept in chains for 24 hours but was not harmed physically until the last half hour of his captivity, when his captors hit him "a bit".
He said Hamas's seizure of power in Gaza and its subsequent pledge to improve security in the territory had facilitated his release.
"The kidnappers seemed very comfortable and very secure in their operation until… a few weeks ago, when Hamas took charge of the security operation here," Mr Johnston said.
I find it hard to react with any cynicism to this news. Johnston's capture and imprisonment was an international crisis that ought to have concerned every journalist — and every person of conscience — on the planet for the last 114 days. And if this is the kind of self-serving gesture Hamas resorts to in the months to come, so much the better.
