Carroll Says Captors Treated Her Well By MARIAM FAM, Associated Press Writer 21 minutes ago
American reporter Jill Carroll was set free Thursday, nearly three months after she was kidnapped in an ambush that killed her translator, and said she had been treated well.
Carroll apparently was left in the street near the Iraqi Islamic Party offices. She walked inside, and people there called American officials.
"I was treated well, but I don't know why I was kidnapped," Carroll said in a brief interview on Baghdad television.
Even though the group threatened twice in videotapes to kill her, Carroll said, "They never hit me. They never said they would hit me."
During the interview, Carroll wore a light green Islamic headscarf and a gray Arabic robe.
"I'm just happy to be free. I want to be with my family," she was heard to say under the Arabic voiceover.
Carroll said she was kept in a room with a window and a shower, but she did not know where she was. Asked about the circumstances of her release, she said, "They just came to me and said we're going. They didn't tell me what was going on."
In Berlin, Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice said she was "pleased" by the news of Carroll's release.

I wonder if their new MO is to kidnap for the sake of treating well and then releasing, so the world media will speak ill of the war effort?

Let's not forget they killed her interpreter. Yet I suppose she will still defend her captors. Nutjob, IMHO!

She wears it so she will look like a local and thus, not draw any undue attention to herself, in case there are kidnappers and terrorists about :-)
To: InvisibleChurch
I do not believe her and that she was kidnapped.

I will always believe this to be a set up situation...I think she was in on it and I said at the time if she was released unharmed she was part of the setup....now I will prepare to hear how she wouldn't have been in the situation to begin with if the US hadn't invaded and OCCUPIED the poor little Iraq's...
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????
To: InvisibleChurch
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."
What a load of cr$%!

If she keeps this up, people will sign up for vacations with the terrorists.

"I was treated well, but I don't know why I was kidnapped,"Then you shouldn't be a reporter for even the local Penny saver, much less in Iraq.

Man what a disappointment!
I was looking forward to the next "This is really the final final last warning". Release all women prisoners blah blah blah.
And I was hoping Cindy Sheehan would volunter next to be a hostage...
If we can't rely on Muslim Mass Murdering kidnappers, who can we rely on?

It is pretty obvious they kidnapped her for money.

I was treated well...Except, of course, for the kidnapping and death threats.

I'm thankful she made is out safe, but often wondered if they didn't turn her over to their side. ????????
Clearly, she "volunteered" to be taken hostage. Moonbat psychology...
Those fanatics think nothing of killing one of their own for "effect".

After reading her anti-US writings, they knew she was a terrorist friend...as are most US msm reps in Iraq. I'm surprised she didn't get an offer from Al Jeezera to join their staff. I hear they're hiring CNN people.
To: InvisibleChurch
Maybe the translator was not supposed to be killed?

"How is being held against your will "treated well"?" Would you be interested in buying a bridge that generates steady income?
