This debacle just shows that what ever story 60minutes "covers" there is a high likelihood that some of it, if not all, has been either provoked or staged, with bits of misinformation thrown in to spice it up even more. That is why I do not watch these sorts of programs.
It is a bit better than ACA lol
i wonder what that age is? -
looks like she had no chance 
Lebanon is not a party to an international agreement covering such disputes.
And Lebanese law, based on religion, is heavily stacked against the mother once children reach a certain age.
At times during their detention, Nine reporter Tara Brown and Ms Faulkner have been kept shackled together with handcuffs.
At one point, although separated from Tara Brown, Ms Faulkner still had handcuffs dangling from one wrist.
Authorities say, despite earlier media reports, no firearms were recovered when the "recovery team" was detained.
And the father's family is politically connected.
His mother is a cousin of the speaker of Lebanon's parliament, Nabih Berri.
He leads the Amal movement and has ready access to an enormous security apparatus, which includes control of ports and airports.
On top of that, Mr el-Amien told the ABC he knew, to a degree that they were coming because one of the children's iPads still had access to Ms Faulkner's email account and he saw messages detailing early discussion of the operation.
The ABC has not seen that email traffic.
Mr el-Amien claims he warned Ms Faulkner not to try to get the children back but did not let her know he had inside knowledge about her alleged plans.
