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? -----Original Message----- From: Nathan <nawr...@gmail.com> To: English Wikipedia <wikien-l@lists.wikimedia.org> Sent: Mon, Jun 29, 2009 1:38 pm Subject: Re: [WikiEN-l] News agencies are not RSs On Mon, Jun 29, 2009 at 4:33 PM, <wjhon...@aol.com> wrote: > > But explain how naming them would have endangered them any further than > they already were.?
