American reporter Jill Carroll has been released after a three-month hostage ordeal in Iraq and was with US officials inside Baghdad's fortified Green Zone.

Video interview
A video posted on the internet, which could not be independently verified, showed Ms Carroll in an interview apparently conducted by her captors before they released her.
"Did you think the American army or the CIA (Central Intelligence Agency) would save you at any time," a muffled male voice asked Ms Carroll in accented English.
"Sometimes I thought maybe that they might come, they might find me, they might find a way to know where I am and come get me," she answered.
"Why did not they save you?" asked the interviewer.
"I think the mujahedeen are very smart and even with all the technology and all the people that the American army has here, they still are better at knowing how to live and work here, more clever," she said
"Does this mean something to you?" the man questioning her asked.
"It makes very clear that the mujahedeen are the ones that will win in the end," Ms Carroll said in the video.
At the end of the eight and a half minute tape, the same man read out a statement in Arabic.
"The mujahedeen in the land of the two rivers announce the liberation of the journalist Jill Carroll... after the US forces and the CIA failed to find her making their ineptitude obvious to the whole world," he said.
"We liberate this journalist today after the American government met some of our demands by releasing some of our women prisoners."

Total bullshit.
I'm pretty sure she did this willingly.
she got released cause the brainwashing is done
On FOX this morning, a taped wire comment I think, referred to the three peace workers "released" by the terrorists last week.
Of course she did....what would be the first thing you would do upon release...remove your head scarf and robe?...not Jill, she still wears them proudly..
There's another site here on FR saying that she was a convert to Muslim and it gave her Arabic name. They made a mistake kidnapping her...got one of their own. It got their lady Jihadists set free though. (I thought we didn't give in to blackmail. Looks like we do.)
I'm thinking she's coming back to the good old USA as a sleeper.
It is the captive syndrome. She has begun to believe the captors.
Could be classic optorectitis.
after her release today..
I think we ought to start referring to her as "Jilbab Jill";)
I think that as a captive of terrorists, she's entitled to do what she feels necessary to get and keep rapport with the kidnappers. People shouldn't condemn her if their lives haven't been at risk in a similar fashion.
What kind of a stupid comment is that?
Oh for goodness sakes.
She was interviewed by her CAPTORS.
You know, those people who chop off heads.
That's a disgusting comment.
Thank you.
I agree.
I'm ashamed of what I'm seeing here today.
