So the lettering was visible and not hidden?

Lettering was visible the whole time, but I couldn't grab it as text.

Ooops! John Loftus mistake:

U.S. couple harassed after TV report says house is home to militant Islamic leader

LA HABRA, California -- A family has been bombarded with threats and harassment after their house was wrongly identified on a U.S. cable television broadcast as the home of a radical Islamic group's leader.

Since the Fox News report Aug. 7, Randy and Ronnell Vorick have had people shout profanities at them, take photos of their house and had someone spray-paint the word "terrist" on their property, The Los Angeles Times reported Thursday.

"I'm scared to go to work and leave my kids home. I call them every 30 minutes to make sure they're OK," Randy Vorick said.

John Loftus, a former federal prosecutor, gave out the address on the TV show, saying it was the home of Iyad Hilal, who allegedly was the U.S. leader of a group with ties to those responsible for the July 7 bombings in London.

Satellite photos of the house and directions to the residence were posted online. Someone even removed the street sign where the Voricks live to provide some protection.

Hilal, whom Loftus identified by name during the broadcast, moved out of the house in Orange County about three years ago. (snip)
