You mean like learning that running around Baghdad with no force protection may not be a particularly good idea?
I've been here over two years and nobody's had to tell me that even once. LOL
MEOW! LOL
Good heavens, I just saw on Fox they have a helicopter following her limo in traffic (Jill Caroll, that is).
BOSTON (AP) - After three months as a hostage in Iraq, Jill Carroll is back on U.S. soil. And her first stop after arriving in Boston today was the office of the newspaper that employed her as a free-lance writer in Iraq, the Christian Science Monitor.
Carroll went from the airport to Boston's Back Bay neighborhood under police escort. She didn't comment at the airport, or on the flight from Germany. And there's no word on her plans from here on.
She has said she wants some quiet time with her family.
Before leaving Germany, Carroll disavowed remarks she made on videotape about the U.S. occupation in Iraq. She says the anti-war statements were made under threats from her captors.
She's already made a complete repudiation of the video remarks. She has condemned her captors as murderers. But you're right-- leave her alone. She's been traumatized enough.
Nope.
Not one *single* time.
[just ad infinitum, ad librium, ad nauseum]....;D
Have you seen any pictures of the wounded Bob Woodruff? There's your answer.

She was definitely a moron to go prancing around Baghdad. But I was glad to see her in western clothes, smiling, and to hear the recantation. It was those "Christian" "Peace" Activists bashing the ones who rescued them the other week that made me a little jumpy that she was going to do the same thing. I'll cut her a break. For now.
She reminds me of Janeane Garafalo. A girl who could look pretty if she wanted to, but chooses not to,
Well by golly, everybody knows McCain was in Vietnam. He had a daily radio talk show from Hanoi.
Well kind of. The reasons Bagdahd is not so safe to hop around without force protection rather than the fact it is that way.
It is not the presence of American ( and other) forces that make it this way but some really hold the view that this is the reason. I suspect that this gal used to think the former but has had.....what do you call it.....an 'attitude adjustment'.
Well and good, so what are her "real views?"
---Perhaps. Unless your boyfriend was holding the camera.
For Jill Carroll, this is not about war, terrorism, or civilization. This is about her. A 29 yr. old pampered princess who kept her idealism because she never, ever bothered to find out the truth. Not that truth matters...
Jill studied Arabic. How special.
Anyone who doubts the veracity of this story need only make a time line. Jill is pro-Arab, her first phone call was to CNN, she is fit beyond belief(seriously) and she couldn't get her own story straight without the U.S. military.
I would bet my eye teeth that this premiere example of an idiot American girl was seduced by a handsome terrorist.
Just take a close look at this girl, she is the uber wallflower, hence her interest in a cause that would make her "special" just by dint of her skin color.---
I nominate this as the most hateful take on the situation that I've come across to date. Others were more direct, but this has just the right mix of spitefulness and innuendo to really take flight. Congratulations!
Well, yeah, that is one of the reasons it is dangerous here.
I love it when people try to tell me what it's like in Baghdad.
