breaking!
What an excellent idea. And make it expensive, and nonrefundable. Actions have consequences, little peace activists.
No, but due to who the interview was with, she was still justifiably afraid for her life.
She is not a stupid woman.
And her captivity was awful..truly..awful. But...but...the terrorists were just SO nice..they treated me SO well...they are such good people..with such a good cause....
BS! If I were in her shoes and had been fed so well and treated so well..I'd still scream bloody murder! I'd talk about how they attempted to BRAINWASH me..
Dang! Do intelligent people think there is no collusion here?
She is just saying she doesn't want to focus on the horrors she went through and instead have the focus on her reporting etc.
To tell you the truth, I don't have a problem with saying whatever it takes to stay alive. She's not a trained soldier, after all, just a civilian. Nevertheless, she said some things that she either wrote outright or hinted at in some of her other writings. Maybe more vehement, or flowery in the interview.
But even beyond that, there is too much about this case that just doesn't seem to track right. Other hostages showed visible signs of their captivity: they were gaunt, their clothing was tattered, some of them had bruises, and so on. She looked like she'd just stepped out of a day spa.
And then there were all the deadlines--which passed, and passed, and yet, here she is, head still attached. Everyone who was a real hostage suffered horrible fates, unless we rescued them.
So now she's said she didn't mean any of it. Well, I hope that's true.
But I remain skeptical. We'll see what happens in the weeks to come, what kind of articles she writes, what she says in future interviews.

Willing to understand and love..viva! Gods Chosen!
Her captors are not stupid..they know who to use.
I'm glad she is back, I hope she understands who took her and why..some are just too good for their own good..and that of their country.

Exactly right. The last tint applied to her hair was months ago.
She said it to save her neck.
I should add, that if the Italian were my family, I would have preferred he lied through his teeth if it meant he be back home alive.
True. But the WOT has progressed since then..they are losing.
And he would almost certainly have died regardless. But it's better to die on your feet then live on your knees.
Daniel Berg was the same useful type idiot as Jill.
I don't quite understand your point.
Straw man argument. The veil on a bride is a ceremonial dress she wears once (hopefully). The muslim head rag is a device designed to keep their women in perpetual slavery and dominance to their men.
Frankly most people look much better in clothing then without so your Amazon Belt sophistry falls flat too.
If you're going to die either way then it doesn't make much of a difference. As far as "living on your knees" I agree, but that's not what we're talking about. As soon as you are released you are free - it is over.
e! Wow! You are the one person who understands what I've been trying to say!
If I were her, and on camera immediately after release, I'd have no fear..I'd tear that dang rag off my head! Did she do that? NO!
Because its collusion! Some in forum have led me to see another angle..but it just aint there!
She was treated just fine..because she is apologists!
Isn't it easy from the comfort of one's desk chair.
