Yes, you heard that right. Just in the past couple of hours, the news has broken that two Fox newsman have been kidnapped by Palestinian gunmen. Drudge is linking to a Reuters story, and the AP has it, too.
Ms Underestimated has also dug up the beginnings of a new odiferous cesspool of snide and insane gloating over at the DU, but you can visit via her post, and not here. Eeew.
CNN's initial report says
The Committee to Protect Journalists issued a statement calling for their release."We are gravely concerned about our colleagues' safety and call for their immediate and unconditional release," said CPJ Executive Director Joel Simon. "These are well established journalists who are not participants in the conflict. They should be treated accordingly and freed."
Well, guys, don't forget, you're dealing with spoiled, intractable, murderous barbarians, so it really shouldn't be surprising that they'd pull a boneheaded move like this. One of my sisters in the Cotillion mentioned that the Paleoswinians have a history of catch-whine-release for journalists, but you never know with these nutcases.
Nothing on FoxNews as of yet, but they may be enforcing a news blackout, so as not to encourage future kidnappings in pursuit of publicity.
UPDATE: TelChai Nation has an excellent round-up of bloggers posting on this.
