Just before Tarek Lubani and John Greyson returned to Canada from their 50 days of captivity in Egypt last October, the coverage of the incident reached a sensational peak in the Toronto media.

In the Globe and Mail, Margaret Wente went a step further, outing Greyson as a gay activist in her column.
