I'm clueless when it comes to code-based clues, but the middle article headline is -donk "threatened with death". It's in Dutch.

I hadn't noticed this before - have the Resistance's pics always been sorted as Good, Bad, and Other?

Spec on the code:

It's a kind of playfair cipher, or a polybius square.

Viz, each pair of numbers refers to the row/column of some grid.

If that's the case, since the numbers range from 0-5, the grid would have to be at least 6x5 or 5x6.

If it's playfair, we need a key. If it's not, the alphabet could just be listed in order in the grid.

I think that's all we came up with earlier in chat! Go to it

and, as always, come discuss in #enitech!

or 5x5 + 1 which makes 26. (the numbers range from 00-44 in base 5, plus a few instance of a lone 55, making me think whatever letter is not included in the 5x5 grid is represented by 55)

the whole title reads "Verdonk met de dood bedreigd" which refers to Minister Rita Verdonk, working in Netherlands Immigration. there was news in '04 about threats and whatnot. doubt it has anything to do with it though =/

additional views of the code block...
The numbers are base 5, with the addition of a 55. That is, 00-44, plus 55, which makes 26 number pairs. This makes a 5x5 grid plus 1, or a 6x6 grid which could hold A-Z and 0-9.
The numbers may be coordinates, or position reference for use with another source of text.
