"Marci Persky Aug. 14, 2006 at 6:54PM Gaza, Aug. 14 (UPI) — Masked militants held the bodyguard for two Fox News employees at gunpoint in Gaza Monday and carted the journalists away to an unknown location. No Palestinian group has claimed responsibility for the kidnappings but a spokesman for Hamas condemned the action, al-Jazeera reported. The abductions were confirmed on the air by the Fox News Channel, but the names of the missing employees were not made public. They were believed to have been a producer from the United States and a cameraman from New Zealand. The Committee to Protect Journalists released a statement expressing concern over the situation and urging the immediate release of the hostages, CNN reported. "We are gravely concerned about our colleagues' safety and call for their immediate and unconditional release," CPJ Executive Director Joel Simon said. "These are well-established journalists who are not participants in the conflict. They should be treated accordingly and freed." Road blocks were set up throughout Gaza in an effort to find the missing men.

Yes, I've seen this before. But, Fox has more to lose than does CNN on this issue. It's only a story for CNN. It's life-and-death situation for Fox.

I still think Fox is playing this the way it should be played.
