AL JAZEERA SHOWS VIDEO OF KIDNAPPED U.S. JOURNALIST IN IRAQ
it was there, I copied and sent it around
I wonder if it was forced off, or found untrue
I agree, unless she is purposely being used for propoganda, but I doubt it. There are a lot of "useful idiot" libs out there and it is better to try to get them to realize the truth.
There could be another reason. An American Muslim delegation has gone over there to see if they can get her released. Perhaps the MSM is gearing up for a big thanks to American Muslims. Muslims helping Christians would play out big in the liberal media.
I pray the girl is released no matter what, but I also pray the scenario I suggest above does not take place.
FNC saying she will be murdered at midnight Friday if her captors' demands are not met.
Ironically, I posted below you (see post #164), without having read your post.
I still don't get it. Why does the woman in the al J video look nothing like the numerous photos of Jill Carroll?
"AlJazzera is a terrorist TV network...they are terrorists. "
Amen to that. And they should be treated as such...
Cruise missiles up their nether regions...
"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."
Sounds like another happy go lucky Daniel Pearl that won't listen to others about these people. We know what happened to him.
Any news on her?

A delegation from the Council on American-Islamic Relations arrived in Baghdad Saturday, adding its voice to what is described as an unprecedented outpouring of Muslim support for the release of American reporter Jill Carroll.

"The kidnapping of Jill Carroll does not benefit the kidnappers," said Nihad Awad, executive director of the Washington-based group that represents US mosques and Islamic associations. "She has been friendly and respectful of the Iraqi people, not an enemy," he added.
At press time Sunday, David Cook, the Monitor's Washington bureau chief, said that there has been no new information about Ms. Carroll. "We are continuing to watch developments in
Iraq and doing all we can to speed Jill's release, unharmed, to her family."
Also joining the Muslim voices calling for Carroll's release was Yasser al-Sirri, director of the London-based Islamic Observation Centre. He called on the "Brigades of Vengeance" - the group that is demanding Iraqi women prisoners be let out - to release Carroll rather than tarnish the image of Islam.
A spokesman in Iraq's Justice Ministry said Sunday that it still expects US forces to release six of nine Iraqi women prisoners this week, despite US comments to the contrary.
"The Iraqi detainees will be released within a week from today," the Justice Ministry spokesman told Reuters. A US military spokesman declined comment.
US troops have raided homes in several areas of Baghdad in recent days. "All of a sudden we heard an explosion. They blew open the front door and fired stun grenades into the living room. They rounded us up and threw me on the floor and a soldier put me on the floor and kept his boot on my back," Hamdiya Sabri told Reuters.
The US soldiers asked if the family members knew anything about the neighbors and then they asked about Carroll. "They told us that they had a tip that the American journalist was being held in this area and asked me what I thought of her," said Thamir Nazih. "I said I was sympathetic about Jill Carroll and that she is innocent. Then they asked me if I knew any terrorists - this only after they stormed the house and humiliated my family."
After the search, a US soldier promised $300 compensation and apologized. The soldiers took away Jassim, the youngest son of the family, saying he would be questioned and freed in a day or two.
On Friday, Adnan al-Dulaimi of the Sunni Iraqi Accordance Front, a leading Sunni political group, held a press conference to denounce the kidnapping. "I am asking you to release this woman. By kidnapping her, you are insulting me. You're insulting the work that I've been doing for Iraq. To the men who are kidnapping her: You know that the woman has a special status in our religion, our culture, and our principles. I'm asking those men who have kidnapped her to release her unconditionally.... I have worked hard in the past to secure the release of Iraqi prisoners. The arrest of this noble journalist will complicate my efforts to release Iraqi prisoners."

Great... It get's worse.
Now the CSM is dropping to their knees to lick the jackboots of these pieces of shiite (drop an i and the e for true meaning).
It's all a publicity stunt for CAIR... Are the folks at the CSM so blind as not to see this? This "tarnishes the image of islam"? I'd say having a pedophile as a prohpet will do the job a lot better than anything the terrorists are doing.
After all, they are only following Mohammad (Piss Be Upon Him) and his example. He kidnapped women and children and if he didin't take them or sell them as slaves, he killed them.
This cult of islam (I refuse to dignify it with a capitalization) is pure evil, and muslims are just as evil to the extent that they follow it. I don't CAIR how much they plead with the animals that walk upright an imitate human behavior in Iraq, how much they try to show how compassionate, caring, understanding, or even peaceful, it's a ruse. Just like Osama bin Laden's offer of a truce... while we cease fire, they would regroup, re-arm, then re-deploy.
CSM is part of the MSM there is no antagonism.
It is looking more and more like this is a fraud.
"Too bad for her compatriots/captors that neither the US nor Jordan will pay ransom."
Now if she was German - she could be found with some of the ransom money in her pocket after her release from "captivity".
This should be a lesson to those who do not believe the terrorists will take anyone down.
Any news yet about her?
Found her body yet?
Anything?
