This whole thing baffles me. I understand the need for discretion...however this bothers me.:

"As Jack Shafer noted in January, "it's an article of faith for some that no news is the best news when it comes to kidnappings."

When there have been other kidnappings, be it soldiers, reporters, civil servants, etc., we have had updates, threads galore, prayer threads and constant "news alerts". This story is being treated differently by Fox and I don't see why. I am no less involved, yet no less interested in any of the news events taking place.

If this story is being treated differently, then we should take the hint and stand down as well.

And maybe, the kidnappers warned FNN not to air this story, that if they did, the two men would meet their maker.

Behind the scenes negotiations are taking place. We'll know everything in due time. Meanwhile, for the sake of these two men...we really do need to drop this subject.
