That's great. I mean it, that's really really good. But I'm not reading the article because it's past history. Too much going on TODAY.

One thing I didn't like about Jill:

In times past, when the jihadis put our guys on film, it was obvious they didn't believe a word they were saying. The verbiage was stilted, like that of a robot, and usually they looked pretty beat-up.

When they put this journalist behind a camera, she came alive. I'm pretty sure she was scared, but she sure didn't act like it.

I'd say journalists are already the kind of person who LIKES seeing it from the eyes of the enemy, and that looks like what she was doing.

In fact, it was more or less a case of Stockholm Syndrome --really, really SICK, from the snippets I saw.
