Diane Macedo of Fox News worked on Sofia's story for more than a month, studying documents, interviewing more than a dozen people, and fact-checking before publishing her news story on Monday and airing our interview.

Here is the link to the Fox News on-camera interview.

This morning, on Monday, she also published a detailed article on Sofia:

▸ Fox News Story on Sofia's Abduction to Syria

When Sofia returns safely home, she will pay her first visit to Diane at Fox News headquarters in New York City.

▸ US Leaves Its Youngest Citizen Behind Syria

I already wrote two blog posts on Sofia's status in Syria. Both posts were read by Washington, by our Embassy in Damascus, Syria, as well as the Syrian government both here in DC and in Damascus.

▸ Open Letter to the President of Syria Bashar al-Assad
▸ Open Letter to the First Lady of Syria Asma al-Assad

Following the Syrian president's speech, the violence in Syria will escalate to new heights this week and will peak on Friday, April 8, 2011, in most major cities. The State Department must make a final effort to bring Sofia home as she appears to be the only American child left behind in this country today.
