OK, so why isn't there more news about the American-Canadian family that were released in Pakistan?

There is something very strange about this case. 45 virtually ignored it except to take credit for the US having more respect around the world because he is President.

Does this family owe you something?

Or is there some requirement that if one has been in the news, then one has no right to privacy to recover from a deeply traumatizing experience and get one with one's life?
