There are reports that NBC News has asked media not to report on the story. With thousands of people tweeting about this (“Richard Engel” is a Twitter trending topic in the United States), it’s going to be impossible to put this genie back in the bottle.

Update: Richard Engel and his crew have been freed after five days of captivity, according to NBC News.
