New York Journalist Threatened with Death in Iraq

Micah Garen is a 36-year-old on assignment in Iraq (on assignment for who, I don't know) who was taken hostage late last week along with his translator. Video shows him in jail pajamas, kneeling, before his captors. Kidnappers' demand: US leaves Iraq in 48 hours.

Strange thing is that CNN, The Times, and other venues have nothing about this case.
