A deal had been struck with a man detained the previous night who was one of the leaders of the kidnappers. He was allowed a telephone call to warn his henchmen to leave the kidnap house. When the troops moved in and found the prisoners alive, they also let him go as promised.
Telegraph News Released hostages 'refuse to help their rescuers'
So the kidnappers were allowed to get away. What would you call this, then? A rescue? A release? Definitely a deal was done.
Update: It occurs to me that if the deal went down as described by the U.K. Telegraph, then coalition forces let go one of the men who was reponsible for the death of Tom Fox after it was clear that the hostages had been "rescued". Thats quite bizarre when you think of it. Coalition Forces are pissed that the CPTers "aren't cooperating" in their investigation, but they released one of the "leaders" of the kidnappers. No, something still stinks here.
