a bit, no, so what?

In response to Hellastopheles'post, because her comments thing isn't working:

Even though I'm disappointed with Mr. Crowe for his recent inability to play well with others, I still take inexplicable pleasure in coming up with defenses for his outlandish statements and actions, alledged and otherwise (except for the time when he bit that guy). It's been increasingly difficult, but this one's a piece of cake.

Here's a quote from the Washington Post's March 9, 2005 Wednesday Style section.
"(CNN reports that a federal law official said Crowe's name was indeed on a list of possible kidnapping targets.)"

So there.

Even before I dug that quote up, I thought the whole kidnapping thing was well within the realm of possibility. Kidnapping threats were reported years ago, although Al Qaeda wasn't mentioned then.

Too bad most of the regurgiated reports of this plot failed to include the federal law official statement.

If something so amazing happened to you, wouldn't you want to tell someone?
