[WikiEN-l] News agencies are not RSs

 Explain first how you know that the kidnappers don't already know who they've captured when they've captured them.? Every person carries identity papers and as a side-note, I would expect they would have targeted a person *just because* they were famous for some reason.




Do you understand why having a famous person captive, and being part of the
24 hour news cycle, is different from having a low-profile prisoner whom no
one knows is in captivity? If so, then you'll agree that transforming the
latter into the former is not necessarily a good idea?
