Breaking - Jill Carrol released in Iraq - more to come
Interesting...
That is the hypocrisy of the leftists for you...the first people they call when they're in a jam is tough men with evil black guns to pull their fat out of the frying pan. Hey, why can't they just negotiate their way out of the uncomfortable situation?

Patience. We'll know in approximately 9 months.
If this halfwit Jill Carroll reminds you of your daughter, you have to seriously get her straightened out. This would mean that your daughter is pro-terrorist and sympathizes with their outrageous violence. Did you accidentally forget the sarcasm tags on your post?
Oh, wait a second. I see that you just registered for FR yesterday...

And she's converting to Islam.
Are you serious? If that's true,then she's lost what little credibility she might have once had.
Except in the minds of those over at DNC Headquarters and in DUmmie Land.
There was never any doubt whether her Islamist friends would release her. Rather than "great" news, this would be better characterized as "predictable" news.

There have been a lot of unkind posts on this thread. As I was reading some of them I thought what Jill's parents would think if they read some of them. As a parent myself, I know that offspring do not always make sensible choices and that beliefs go through change over time.
This woman, despite her choices, is a human being and an American. Heaven only knows what she has experienced before, during, and after her "captivity" (or whatever it was.) I vote for mercy until all the facts are in.
She's already said they treated he very well. If so then why was she on camera pleading for her life??
Sorry about the confusion. I was just extending your prediction of the future. Time will tell. She does look cute in her Burka, don't you think.
Seen this?
Has anyone considered she may be OUR spy?
Yeah, and our CIA paid her ransom..cause she was our spy.Just a thought.
That being said, I suspect this lady was in bed with her captors. Either Stockholm Syndrome or plain good ol' left-wing nuttiness.
I will wait until ALL the facts are in; HOWEVER, the very fact that the deadline for her demise kept getting postposed just didn't seem very much like the usual Islamist M.O.
Now her talking about how they didn't even slap her really strikes me as...strange. They threatened to kill me, but they didn't even threaten to SLAP me.
HUH??? I guess those Islamist SLAPS are worse than beheadings. But at least they have nice furniture.
Reclused.
Well, she was a typical left-wing, excuse-the-terrorists reporter for the MSM, but I'm glad she didn't get her head cut off. Just because she wrote favorably about them didn't guarantee that they wouldn't kill her, on general Muslim principles. I don't think it was a set-up.
bttt
Source please. Permanent in what status? How long has she lived there? What is her level of fluency? I have read that she speaks "some arabic." Having lived myself in the Middle East, I question whether she was fluent or that she understood the nuance and vernacular of the language. Arabic is very difficult.
