Hmm...

Two weeks ago, a few inmates at an Arizona prison took a female and male corrections officer hostage. The stand-off ended today.

In the meantime, I happened to read three or four articles with brief updates about the situation. It struck me as odd that none of the articles, including the most recent one, mentions what the inmates wanted, or why they took the officers hostage in the first place. That's just basic reporting. Even if the demands of the inmates aren't known, one would still expect a sentence or two along the lines of "the prisoners have made no demands" or "Chief Police Dude passed on commenting on the prisoners' demands."

Who, what, when, where, why. Did the reporter doze off before reaching the end of the journalistic mantra? The absence of the why in this story is glaringly conspicous.
