My opinion: No news is news. So is unchecked terrorist thuggery against Western journalists. The disappearance of Centanni and Wiig is at least as newsworthy as–and far more threatening to our national security than–people falling off cruise ships or getting eaten by alligators or attacked by bees.

I can understand that perhaps Fox doesn’t want to raise the profile of their people while in captivity. But after a while silence sounds a lot like defeat.
