Reuters, etc. do that routinely. I suspect part of the motive is to be able to report from behind the lines without getting decapitated.

We hadn't even heard about these hostages, had we? These are separate from the three Turks that were shown in the videos last week, right?

Sheesh, how many more hostages are there that we don't even know about?? I'm guessing quite a few.
