Yeah, if you are captured behind ememy lines there is no way you will be a prisoner. These guys have no moral compass, even in war.

No, they can easily get Ted to interview her. However, Ted rejected the US governments demands that he wear a GPS device so they military can go rescue her.

Ok, so the above is made up, but could easily be true.

DUBAI, Jan 17 (Reuters) - The abductors of U.S. journalist Jill Carrol have threatened to kill her if the United States does not free Iraqi women prisoners within 72 hours, Al Jazeera television said on Tuesday.

The station aired a brief video apparently showing Carroll speaking to the camera, without broadcasting her voice.

How come the MSM is sooooooo quiet about this?

Had it been anyone else they would have been on the story like a fly on $hit!

Can it be because the story of their indefatigable insurgent minutemen freedom fighters may put them in a bad light? I mean god forbid that the big bad americans were right all along about the 'insurgency'!!

What kind of "journalist" is this woman? Lately, all the "journalists," especially female ones, have turned out to be propaganda shills in the employ of AQ or at any rate very sympathetic to it. Germany, Italy and Japan have paid out big bucks to "rescue" these trembling maidens, who were not in any danger anyway and were in league with their alleged kidnappers.

What is the situation with Jill Carrol?

She is the friends of some Iraqi bloggers. They don't really discuss her politics but they strongly imply that she was in Iraq because she cared about Iraq.

The Jordan Times ran an editorial on Sunday headlined "Our Jill." Some excerpts:

"Jill Carroll worked at The Jordan Times for one year - long enough for anyone who would come across her to be convinced beyond any doubt of her genuine interest in the Middle East, her sincere admiration for Arab culture and utmost respect for the Arab people."

"A few months after the US invasion, she left Jordan for Iraq, prompted by the desire to show to as vast an audience as possible the human tragedies caused by the war and the hardships of the Iraqi people."

"The kidnappers who abducted her could not have chosen a more wrong target."

"Jill has always wanted to know and experience as much as possible about Arab identity, and she is keen on absorbing it, learning, understanding and respecting it."

"An open-minded, sharp, intelligent, dedicated and highly appreciated professional, Jill makes one of the best ambassadors Arabs could ever hope for."
