Despite her language skills, Carroll used an Iraqi translator the day she was kidnapped. The abduction took place when the translator and Carroll were heading to meet Adnan al-Dulaimi, head of the Sunni Arab Iraqi Accordance Front.

Hmmm -- I wonder what happened to the translator. I guess it isn't important or the great journalists at the AP would have mentioned it.

He was just an easily discarded appendage. Plenty more where he came from!

He was of course murdered. But if she is fluent in Arabic, why the need for a translator to begin with?
