Why didn't they just stay home and watch Al Jazeera and twist the story anyway they want? When you're going to lie anyway, why bother going to the actual source?

The Islamists in Libya are not much different from those in Iran or Pakistan or Somalia. They’ve learned that Westerners taken hostage are good for plenty of ransom. Once you’re on that slippery slope there’s no turning back.

No it was New York Times. If the guys at Move On had been kidnapped by terrorists I would be doing a happy dance instead of just smiling.
