Traitor.

[Windsong]

Reminds me of the forced "confession" of sorts in Gulf I when the captured pilot said on Iraqi TV "..the peaceful..peoples..of uh..Iraq".

Total bullshit.

[catholicfreeper]

Give her some time. I think any of us would say anything to get out of that situation. If thats not the case its classic Stockholm syndrome

[COEXERJ145]

As soon as I heard her say "mujahedeen" on ABC Radio News this afternoon, I suspected either she was a terrorist collaborator or suffering from the Stockholm syndrome.

[CPOSharky]

On FOX this morning, a taped wire comment I think, referred to the three peace workers "released" by the terrorists last week.

[68skylark]

Jill Carroll's release has not put FR in a good light today. There's way too much hostility, coupled with lots of uninformed speculation. I expect this from DU or Daily Kos. I expected better of Freepers.

I think that as a captive of terrorists, she's entitled to do what she feels necessary to get and keep rapport with the kidnappers. People shouldn't condemn her if their lives haven't been at risk in a similar fashion.

[Velveeta]

Oh for goodness sakes.

She was interviewed by her CAPTORS.

You know, those people who chop off heads.

[Right Cal Gal]

To quote Charles Johnson, Grand Master Lizard of the LGF Minions:

"Carroll's interpreter, murdered during the kidnapping, could not be reached for comment."

[narby]

Between this and all the xenophobic hatred and illogic about the border issue, I'm beginning to wonder if all the stereotypes about conservatives might just be true.

It's pretty obvious this poor girl has Stockholm Syndrome. She instinctively figured out a way to make her captors like her, by agreeing with their twisted ideas.

It got her released. So there is an upside with the syndrome.

[discostu]

The sentence structure is all screwed up, I think they handed her a script.

[VOA]

"I think the mujahedeen are very smart and even with all the technology
and all the people that the American army has here, they still are
better at knowing how to live and work here, more clever," she said

Nice to hear old Jill is supporting the home team.
Her home team of Islamic terrorism.

[muawiyah]

Of course these are the same guys who murdered her translator.

I suspect she's simply trying to avoid riling them up.

[airborne]

Wonder what her translator thinks.

(Oh, that's right. She got murdered)

[marajade]

what a wacko broad

[Fintan]

"It makes very clear that the mujahideen are the ones that will win in the end," said Ms Carroll...

 

If I said what I feel, I'd get banned.

"It makes very clear that the mujahideen are the ones that will win in the end," said Ms Carroll...

 

[bvw]

Stockholm Syndrome classic case.

[newnhdad]

One has to wonder when her book is coming out and what side she's going to take?
Hummmm....

[Ladysmith]

Whew, some on here called this one right away this morning...

[hershey]

Stupid woman. She should kiss the earth when she lands in America. Then she should shut up.

[BigSkyFreeper]

I saw what snippet they showed on FOX News this afternoon and my intial reaction was "gag me with a spoon".

She's as goofy and ridiculous as these Christian Peace Team members.

[LK44-40]

I have just read through the accounts for tomorrows papers that are up on the NYT and WashPost websites.

I would never criticize what she said while still under control of her captors...the video that they made and released via internet.

What was very troubling to me was the video widely broadcast today that was made by the Sunni party when she entered their headquarters immediately after being dropped on the street. Nothing that I read made it entirely clear whether she still felt in jeopardy at that point. I am inclined to think she did. If not, I would judge her statements emphasizing how well she was treated and "not threatened" to be contemptible. She seems to be in good shape and needs to come forward quickly with a full statement either repudiating or standing behind today's remarks.

At some point while she was inside the Sunni party headquarters, the U.S. military was called and sent a convoy to retrieve her. The newspapers do not make clear the exact sequence. It seems plausible that she did her interview there before the Army arrived, perhaps before it was called. My impression is that she may not have been entirely confident that she was safe.
