Are you talking about that nasty Italian witch who was "kidnapped" by her terrorist friends.
Recently, there has been some movement by the Italian judiciary for the killing of the Italian agent. Now who do you think the Italian judge charged with homicide:
a-the Italian witch, whose carelessness led to her kidnapping and the death of the agent;
b-the kidnapper terrorists
c-an American soldier manning a checkpoint who fired on the speeding vehicle after it failed to stop after warnings.
So easy, huh. And so sad.

Given the current security situation, why would any western journalist be traveling out around Baghdad "to meet a sunni leader"....with only a translator?
Sum ting wong here.
May no US troops lose their lives in the effort to save the stupid.

I have no sympathy for Al-quaida loving journalists (& I figure that's about 98% of them, especially including "Americans") when they get kidnapped or worse by the folks they are supporting.

I wonder why they haven't given her name?Time zone differences and the need to inform her family first. If it was discovered at noon Saturday in Baghdad, that would be 4AM to 1AM in the U.S.
Give it 24 hours.

If I were in charge of such things I would release stories suggesting that female captives are sexually assaulted by their captors.

The chances that the reporter is anything other than an enemy collaborator are vanishingly small.

If I could be convinced that this woman was one of the minuscule number of truth conveying reporters over there, I'd grieve. Until then, I rejoice and pray for more kidnapped journalists. The result would have to be, eventually, a press "early withdrawal", and Iraq sinking into the ether the same way Somalia did when it got too dangerous for reporters over there. It's a good thing, given most modern reporting.

A search of Google News for "christian science monitor 'jill carroll'" is the quickest way to find some of her articles. First two I read aren't very positive. Iraqis saying the purple finger isn't paying off...gasoline shortages...

An American...1st strike
A woman...2nd strike

She's in a world of trouble, regardless, and we all need to crank up the prayers on her behalf. They killed her driver outright.
