I find myself not 'caring enough' that she has been released. It's wonderful, I am much happier she is alive... I'm happier for the 'miner', other Iraqi hostages...I feel badly saying it, but I feel she was played....she had "Stockholm syndrome" BEFORE she was a hostage.
I can't put my finger on it, but something is not 'quite right' ... nothing really definitive and I don't think this is "IT", she was all too willing to wear "muslim attire" BEFORE her kidnapping. I wish somebody could point out my *exact* feeling on this.

Dunno, anyone not wearing Muslim attire in that area (except our soldiers) would have to be pretty stupid.
I loved reading about Sir Richard Francis Burton and his sojourn to Mecca....

She's a younger version of Sgrena, the horrid Italian hostage. Sgrena went to Iraq to get dirt on the US and was careless about her travels. She was angry with the people of Fallujah when they didn't say the negative things she wanted.

She was involved in the incident where the Italian intelligence agent was killed at a checkpoint and the Italians have charged the American soldier with murder.

Now here's the important part: after her release Sgrena said she helped her insurgent friends stage the video and wanted to look more desperate.

Recently, the communist Sgrena has denigrated the Italian hostage who was killed and complained that the US is not paying enough attention to her.

I fear Carroll is from the same cloth.
