I know I saw that too - I could have sworn FNC said he (whoever he is) released the hostages about an 1.5 hr ago.
I've been hopping between CNN, MSNBC & FNC for the past couple of hours. FNC DID report only 2 hostages 1.5 hours ago, and that "all" had been released. Drudge is saying the same thing. Meanwhile AP/MSNBC has been reporting that 4 were originally taken, and that either 1 or 2 are still inside. The spokesman at the "press conference" strongly implied the same.
Meanwhile, we have 2 different names for the perp. Typical "live" reporting from the cable news networks. Conflicting reports & lots of misinformation.
