We wrote this morning of the strange twist in the speedy and convenient capture and killing of American hostage Paul Johnson's alleged kidappers/murderers. We said:

For three days they couldn't catch a lead. All of a sudden, they get a report of a sighting of a vehicle which they are immediately able to surround at a gas station and the suspects are shot to death. After dumping a body, who goes to fill up? Why would the leader of the pack go along for the ride to dump the body? That's a lackey's job....Now there's one more piece of news--in the same article: The Governor of Riyadh is denying that Mr. Johnson's body has been found.

It seems pretty clear someone is lying. Yesterday, the Saudi government official said a random witness called in a license plate from the car after seeing Mr. Johnson's body dumped from it. This was the key to authorities tracking the militants to the gas station where the shootout took place that killed al-Moqrin and three others. Today there is no body, and they are not even sure of the general location in which it might be found.

Here's our question: Why isn't the mainstream media all over this?

Update: Archy begins connecting the dots.
