No news is good news?

Jill Carroll has been released. The AP title states that 'Captors Treated Her Well' and the story is incredibly short. I guess 'as little news as possible' is good news?
And I'm not sure being kidnaped and threatened with death exactly qualifies as 'being treated well', but what can you expect from the AP? Yes, I know. Those were her words as quoted in the story. But of all the elements to this nearly three month nightmare to compose a headline out of that is the best those AP guys can do???
The title & length of this AP story has since been changed - L.B.1901

But, why, oh, why is this not front page headlines instead? Afterall, everybody could blame it all on 'W'.

And if you think N.Y. cabbies are bad, try Afghanistan. Talk about highway robbery!
