A Question About Jill Carroll
Vanity

Posted on 03/30/2006 3:16:37 PM PST by yetidog

Why is Jill Carroll dressed as an Iraqi Muslim female in her interviews with the press? Better yet, why does not some reporter ask her the same question? Something does not seem right. But what do I know sitting at my computer 8,000 miles away?

I heard her asked the question of what her captors allowed her to do. She answered that, and then she started to say what she wasn't allowed to do, and the interviewer abruptly cut her off and asked her another question.

Uh ... ummm ... maybe because she's Muslim? Or she just wants to "look" Muslim to KEEP FROM GETTING KIDNAPPED! :-)

/1/ She may have converted. This has happened often, for example with Russian POWs in Afghanistan in the 1980s. Stockholm syndrome on steroids.

/2/ There may be other prisoners who were not released, and she must play an act to keep them alive and unharmed.

Same reason Lauer wears a Palistianian Smagh around his neck.

why does not some reporter ask her the same question

The 'reporters' don't care what you want. They have a story to push. The facts might get in the way.

Yes, I hate it when one of those morons refuses to ask the most obvious questions in the world. Instead, they will ask, "How does it feel to be free and not in fear of being beheaded any minute? Are you happy or sad?"

Funny this was not moved to chat. But My guess is that she "Converted" and that is why they let her live.

I agree, Very easy to succumb to this.

The Media and most Americans have no glue how this works.

JUST think inside the box with no windows, bare floor. Just a few days!!
What would you do.
This is a young girl who never knew better.

She was shown wearing similar garb before she was captured.

She has sympathies along those lines.

I think we all know the answer to this question. It appears to be very obvious.

How is it she was "treated well" and "not threatened" when she was clearly seen in tears pleading for life and the terrorist's demands on that video released worldwide?

Does she have any credibility left as a journalist?

I've thought from the start that she was in league with them. I read somewhere that the translator killed when they grabbed her was a Christian.
