If only more journalists could be so considerate...

[Publius6961]

I am not in the slightest interested in anything concerning this person.

The Oprah Winfrey Show.

Load of crap. She's just saying that so that she can get on Oprah.

[Mrs. Shawnlaw]

I don't believe a word of it. She is trying to make them out to be merciful, too bad too many others didn't fare as 'well' as she did.

[kinoxi]

Sounds like she converted (reverted,perverted?) to islam to me.

[Chena]

I'm sure you probably regret your comment by now. I'm sure there are a few posters here on FR who will step up and apologize for some of the comments made when she was still in capitivity. I'm glad she's home safe.

[ladyinred]

She is lucky she got out with her head. I wonder why she did?

Any story from a POW and written by a member of the drive by media should be viewed with extreme skepticism.

[cripplecreek]

I can't say as if I blame her but I would prefer to do it like the Italian who spit in his captors face before they shot him.

[thoughtomator]

I'm still not convinced that she was not collaborating with them and making her story up.

[freekitty]

Don't have any idea what is the truth or not; but I sure would hate to have been in her position.

[Maximus_Ridiculousness]

The Christian Science Monitor...published the first installment of her 11-part series overnight on the newspaper's website.

I was wondering how long it was gonna take her to "sell" her story. She probably couldn't get the price she wanted from a real publisher and chose to stay with the paper.

I still don't believe her story. And if it does turn out to be true, then this anti-american/anti-military cheerleader got what she deserved.

[oceanview]

as with the Nick Berg story, we will never know what the full truth is on this one.

Journalist Carroll asked to be shot

Silly me. I thought this was Jon Carroll.

[observer5]

"They'd given me a new hijab (headscarf), a new name (Aisha), and tried to convert me to Islam,"

Good thing these people are really stupid...

[nmh]

"As days turned to months, Carroll, who speaks Arabic and moved to Iraq to fulfill a dream of being a foreign correspondent, said she was interrogated, but, at times, was given a remote control to a television set where she watched the The Oprah Winfrey Show. "

If that doesn't prove there is something VERY wrong with Oprah's show I don't know what will. Terrorists LOVE her.

[NewLand]

If we don't see a full denunciation and call for the destruction of these barbarians during this "11 part series", then we know for sure.

[NRA2BFree]

She went through a horrific ordeal, and I'm glad she survived. No matter what she had to say to save her life she did what any one of us would have done. She has since recanted what they forced her to say, and told the truth about what happened. I wish her the best.

[HighlyOpinionated]

Something is missing from this story. It just doesn't seem accurate. Like the story board was set up and they sat around and said things like: tell them we let you watch television; and don't forget to tell them how you played with the children; and tell them we were harsh interrogators; and tell them we did feed you well; and remember to mention your new scarf and name; and pretend we tried to convert you . . . no one knows you're already a convert, do they?

Too choppy a story. Something doesn't add up.

Anyone else have the same observation?

[FierceKulak]

I won't judge because she went through alot, but it seems like she might have Stockholm syndrome here.
