With the news spreading today that a group of angry Egyptian men carjacked an ABC News crew and threatened to behead them, Robert Gibbs, during a press gaggle on Air Force One, used some of his toughest language yet:
I want to say a word for a second on the systematic targeting of journalists in Egypt. This also is completely and totally unacceptable. Any journalist that has been detained should be released immediately. I think we need to be clear that the world is watching the actions that are taking place right now in Egypt. And I'll reiterate again that the actions of targeting journalists, that is unacceptable, and that those journalists should be, if they are detained, released immediately. I know the President has been briefed on this as part of the daily briefing this morning
