Why isn't US media reporting this? Sensitivity. Its the same reason that Europeans saw ALOT more 9/11 World Trade Ctr. footage than we did. We are being sheilded like children.

Because Islam is a religion of peace and love. Just like they only report white on black crime not black on white even though it is ten times more common. The media sucks.

Why isn't US media reporting this?Because it is giving the terrorists exactly what they wanted, and any publicity will undoubtably motivate them to find more such victims.
Of course, given the endless publicity this guy has received to date, everyone in America will know all the details in 24 hours. Events like this during war should be totally blacked out. They should have announced nothing when he was taken and and a story saying he died in a plane crash once they knew he was dead. Easier on the family too.
