OK so they were false. I don't remember hearing during the airing of those statements that the video was released by her kidnappers.
So is she lying now, or before, or is it the MSM lying?
She's a journalist, so I don't believe anything she says. Why did the terrorists release her, when they torture, mutilate and murder most of their victims? The terrorists released her because she represents the media, and the media will therefore cover the story extensively. The terrorists correctly assume that the morons in the media will paint them as rational, considerate, misunderstood people with a legitimate cause, so more liberal lunatics in the U.S. will say we should not be fighting the war on terror.
