Jill Caroll is STILL an Islamist, terror-supporting Tokyo Rose.

If this were a Halliburton employee held hostage and then released, you think the press would be making such a big deal out of this? Carroll is one of their own.

A little background on innocent little Jill...

[beyond the sea]

Jill Carroll worked, by her choice, for an Islamist newspaper that said she shares its anti-American, anti-Israel views (no reason to doubt that, she worked for them by her choice)" --

Right.......... this girl is "out there"....... and now the media and McPain are protecting her.

Did you hear McPain saying she really doesn't mean any of that anti-American crap coming out of her mouth?

I watched her video one time on the news and looked at my wife and told her....she is as cool as a cucumber and reading off a script...probably one she wrote because the english was written for AMERICANS to listen to.

She thought I was kidding.

She looks like she is professing something....not begging for her life.

I can only hope O'reilly has the balls to get on top of this story and put the pressure on her and the forces complicit in her release.

She grew up in Ann Arbor.....a stones throw away from the New Fallujah.

Whoa!! Debbie is on a tear here, but I'm not sure why. Who doesn't know that Jill Carroll is a scumbag and always was a scumbag? This is news?? I won't speak for anybody else at FR but you certainly won't find any posts from me on any previous "Jill Carroll" threads. I always took her "abduction" for a joke and cared about Jill Carroll about as much as I cared about that other scumbag "journalist" who was abducted (the Italian one - - Sgrena(?)).

As far as Debbie and her way-too-defensive screed posted above, I would recommend she keep a little post-it on her desk with the old Chinese proverb: "Only a fool argues with a fool."

So what's your point? Would you have been happy if they cut her head off? And if you say no...you're lying. And that's sickening.

Jill Carroll was a close friend of the late Code Pinko Marla Ruzicka a/k/a "Treasonatrix Barbie."

Sounds like a Susan Lindauer type.

[Thunder90]

No wonder the terrorists treated her well!

[Canticle_of_Deborah]

From Arabic food to the Arabic language, Jill has always wanted to know and experience as much as possible about Arab identity, and she is keen on absorbing it, learning, understanding and respecting it.

Apparently so. She gained at least 20 lbs. in "captivity."

I turned FOX off this morning after the first "NEWS ALERT" that her freakn plane was about to land in Boston. I remembered all her rhetoric before she was uh kidnapped. She was a champion of the anti-war crowd. And now the media wants to proclaim her as a returning hero? That said, I am glad she was not beheaded but I believe she will be making the rounds of the talk shows while her story is still hot and I think she will have the same axe to grind as she did before the uh kidnapping.

[ThirstyMan]

What Jill's personal views are, we do not know.
Guilt by association can be a dangerous thing...not always fact...ask Mary Maitlin.

Many like me, who complained about the premature judgment of Jill, did so not because they knew she was a true blue American, she may not be. I complained because the press made a HUGE misrepresentation of the video she made. It was a coerced propaganda piece, filled with obvious contradictions, made at gunpoint (it was later revealed) at Sunni Party HQ, made BEFORE her release, not after, for which her cooperation was a pre-condition of her release.

This is the ONLY fact that I have disputed here on FR, in the face of a bevy of uninformed patriotic haters.

I continue to say, wait for the real FACTS not the hearsay:
because she knew Arabic, woop-ti-doo! That proves?
because she knew Marla Ruzicka? that's guilt by association
because she was employed by a Jordanian newspaper? do we have any samples of her articles?

I say we follow the FACTS not the hype!

[tobyhill]

Wow, after reading this I hope Carroll has a short visit back here in America and returns to her beloved Middle-East as soon as possible. I certainly wouldn't want her to be miserable in a land she hates. Who's baby will she have, Bin Laden's or Zarqawi's? Oh, I guess it doesn't matter since she's in bed with them all.

4.) She recently graduated from Zoo Mass, Amherst. A Madrassa in the "tribal regions" of Pakistan couldn't be more comprehensively anti-American and anti-Isreali.

Great info here

Carroll's facial contortions, in the video in which she pleaded for the release of female prisoners, strongly resembled the facial contortions used by professional "victim" Cindy Sheehan.

Thanks for posting this "heads-up," goldstategop. I'm curious to know what Jill was doing when women were being executed by the Taliban and tortured by Saddam.

Bush's pre-emption saved more lives than anything Carrol can do. Think of all the lives that would have been saved if FDR would have "pre-emptively" deposed Hitler.

[PGalt]

Great post. I welcomed Jill home on another thread recently.

It will be interesting to see if she throws down her pen and joins The United States Military now.

The rest of her life/work will be very interesting.

Every day she has choices.

Great post. Thanks.
