Speaking after his release Butler said, “I'm looking forward to seeing my family and my friends at CBS”. He talked briefly about the rescue. "The Iraqi army stormed the house and overcame my guards and they burst through the door - and I had my hood on, which I had to have on all the time...They shouted something at me and I pulled my hood off...and they ran me down the road."
