#2 assured by Palestinian President Mahmoud Abbas

A normal President would have said "ain't got the faintest notion, if we did we'd do something"

#4 I thought this was a 'fake but accurate' kidnapping.

Ol' Alan J was in trouble with the higher ups and arranged to have himself kidnapped.

#5 What civilized country in the world would have its president in cahoots with KIDNAPPERS!!!

I wouldn't say 'cahoots'. More like Abbas and the rest of what passes for the PA government know who the kidnappers are, talk to them, but let them go about their business unhindered.

Just think of it as the ultimate in libertarianism.

#6 I just can't muster any sympathy for journos any more. Doesn't seem to matter what their plight, or where. I except Michael Yon and Bill Roggio and their like (a really small class) although "real journos" don't think of these guys as journalists, except maybe when they steal their photos.
