Carroll Says Captors Treated Her Well

"Except, of course, for the kidnapping and death threats."

You forgot the loud yelling and panties on her head...

[nina0113]

Would you be interested in buying a bridge that generates steady income?

Is there actually a river under this bridge, and a road on both sides, or is it just a virtual bridge (perhaps a Wheatstone)?

Classic case of Stockholm Syndrome, imo.

[massgopguy]

I think she caught Stockholm Syndrome two years ago.

[Jeff Head]

"They treated me well."

Right after they shot her interpreter to death.

[in hoc signo vinces]

She was a nutjob look before Stockholm syndrome could come into play.

Glad she is free...but the whole situation smells funny.

[bondjamesbond]

They treated her well, but her translator is dead. Since he was just a local, I guess his death is a matter of no great importance.

[Jeff Head]

Given some of her views, I'm afraid she went over the fence a good time before she was taken...and her captors knew this and at the very best, took abject advantage of it. At the very worst, she was a willing participant. I pray that is not the case.

[hellinahandcart]

If she was "treated well", why was she crying in terror on camera as if they were going to kill her at any second?

Either she was in real fear for her life (which does not translate to being "treated well"), or she was acting. It's one or the other.

[oyez]

Why is she still wearing that Islamic get-up? If I were freed, the first thing I would do would find some presentable clothing.

I don't own the Bronx/Whitestone. How about the Throggs Neck?

[Congressman Billybob]

Precisely. The ignorance of the press, she IS a reporter, continues unabated. Kidnapping someone, threatening to murder her, and murdering her companion, are not the marks of "good treatment." They are the marks of savages.

If a reporter who was IN this very situation cannot tell the truth about her captors, there's little hope for American press coverage of the war to be anything but continued dishonesty which deceives the American people.

It makes no difference whether the reporters intend to be dishonest, or are merely clueless. The effects back home are the same.

If she works for The Christian Science Monitor she is a Christian Scientist. It's a rule they have for their reporters.

[Shomer]

She failed to draw attention to the "treatment" her Iraqi translator got, however. The translator was murdered in order to kidnap her, just to "treat her well."

And this murder/kidnapping was conducted by a culture that will find any reason under heaven to rape women.

Ahhh.
An electrically-bent comedian!
How droll and refreshing.

[bondjamesbond]

After Sgrena and Osthoff, I am getting pretty sceptical about these "kidnappings". They begin to look more and more like willing arrangements, IMHO.

[buoybob]

I thought the same thing. Seems she has gotten quite attached to that rag on her head. When does the book come out and when is the movie?

[chesley]

Does anyone else wonder why no other American Woman "Journalists" are kidnapped??? -- Just this one who has been an apologist for the terrorists from the beginning..and foreign females from liberal papers????

Well, you could be right. An alternate explanation, that I personally think is more likely, is that liberal females are the only ones that don't have the brains to take some precautions against being kidnapped.

[AmericaUnite]

Wasn't there one video of her crying?
