Katie Claims Carroll Captors "Not as Vicious"

I'm sure Ms. Carroll's family will sleep easier knowing that.

[joonbug]

The Perky One should volunteer to join the hostages so she can see first hand what a nice group of guys those terrorists are.

[airborne]

Maybe she would be willing to take part in a prisoner exchange.

[COUNTrecount]

Couric displayed the kind of naivete that can be lethal when dealing with terrorism.

Great qualification for replacing Dan Rather ! Go for it, SeeBS.

[Lee'sGhost]

"But Couric took things a giant step further, interpreting their actions as reflecting that, deep down inside, these are killers with a warm 'n fuzzy side."

Oh, I get it, they're becoming liberals. All the hate but without the guts to actually do anything.

[Carolinamom]

It's a travesty that Katie is paid millions to voice these sentiments. 'Perky' and 'cutesy' does not apply to someone like her speaking about terrorists who hold the life of their prisoner in the balance. Would SHE think this way if it were HER daughter? I can only imagine how the parents of their innocent daughter must feel on hearing this twit.

[peyton randolph]

Hmmmmm....might they not be as vicious because the kidnapping is fake and the 'journalist' is a dupe for Islam?

[TomGuy]

In a thread yesterday, New Video of Kidnapped Reporter Surfaces, there was much speculation of the smell of fish.

I heard Carroll's statement via ABC Radio News. She did not sound unduly stressed or under duress. Others in the thread had similar reactions.

After that female German captive got home with a stash of marked ransom cash a few months ago, we have become more skeptical of some of these 'capture' reports.

This capture is smelling of fish. The floral background and Katie's keen sense of fashion regarding Carroll only adds fuel to the speculation that Carroll might be a willing accomplice.

[mkjessup]

"The affable Eva Braun of morning television"* strikes again, speaking of something she knows nothing about.

* - Thank YOU Ann Coulter!

[reagan_fanatic]

The tape showed a composed Carroll speaking with a floral backdrop behind her. Katie, ever the fashion maven, declared "it's actually kind of a pretty setting."

Good God - why does the MSM parade such blazing stupidity and cluelessness in public like that? Does Katie really draw in that much viewership that the Today honchos let this stuff pass?

[mrmargaritaville]

Yeah right Katie-and to demonstrate the fact that they are not as vicious they will start using a sharp knife to behead hostages, instead of the dull ones like the one used on Nick Berg.

[Charlespg]

Stupid B****

[nuconvert]

In Katie's world, there are nice terrorists and bad terrorists.

[Velveeta]

bump

[johnny7]

...as Jill Carroll's severed-head bounces onto the Today set in front of her.

[Tokra]

Katie, ever the fashion maven, declared "it's actually kind of a pretty setting."

This statement is so absolutely unbelievable, it's almost surreal. How anybody at all, even the crazies at DU, can possibly not see how despicable Katie Couric is, is beyond my comprehension.

If the NBC studios are ever hit by a terrorist attack, I certainly hope the suicide bombers are wearing coordinated outfits to satisy Katie's fashion sense before they blow her to smithereens.

[MarkL]

Cool! Move em all to Katie's house!

Katie, ever the fashion maven, declared "it's actually kind of a pretty setting."

Perhaps Katie can pick up some matching shoes while in 'Torino.'

[MarkL]

Couric displayed the kind of naivete that can be lethal when dealing with terrorism.

Change "naivete" to stupidity, and you're on the right track. She's the sort of person who in an earlier time, would have said, "Oooohhh... Look at the pretty, fuzzy lion! I think I'll go pet him."

At least back then, those people were removed from the gene pool.
