Morning, math. What is the sense of the Jill Carroll story here on FR? I think I feel the skepticism growing.
A spokesman for her group was on F&F this morning - very negative about Iraq. Then they had Bill Hemmer (sp?) on about his trip - he said he saw ONE other reporter (San Fran paper) while he was in Fallujah. He said the guys would love to see more reporters. He was surprised there were no limits, except for security, on where he went, what he saw, what he reported. In all, he was much more positive, altho he said it was not a short fight.
I'm skeptical as heck. For her not to have expressed her outrage at the death of her interpreter tells me something. Stockholm syndrome is such a convenient excuse. If it isn't what it appears to be (and I don't think it is), it is either something she may have helped engineer for terrorist propaganda ("My life with the jihadists"), or hopefully she's an intelligence plant to find out where the bad guys are. My opinion is that there's something not right with this lady.
