So sad.

If this couple had been married journalists their picture and numerous background, human-interest stories would be on every magagine and newspaper cover in the country. The press will lose interest in the Burnham story by tomorrow.

Except for the mandatory "woulda, coulda, shoulda". The next story will be on the secret "breakthrough" in talks that would have released them unharmed.

The cynic in me agrees.

You know, I thought that for most of the time they were being held. I was rather disgusted at the lack of coverage of the Burnhams and Mrs. Yap.

However, I recently came to the conclusion that if their story had been treated in the same way as Daniel Pearl, they might have been killed almost immediately.
