It is the captive syndrome. She has begun to believe the captors.
Unless it was a fake kidnapping.
Was this tongue-in-cheek? Here's a link and an excerpt you might find interesting: http://www.mentalmayhem.org/newswire/2006/01/jordan_times_ed.html
Jordan Times Editorial: Our Jill
(excerpted) The kidnappers who abducted her could not have chosen a more wrong target. True, Jill is a US citizen. But she is also more critical of US policies towards the Middle East than many Arabs.
Though as a reporter she always complies with the strictest requirements of objectivity and impartiality, Jill has been from day one opposed to the war, to the invasion and occupation of Iraq. More than just being sympathetic with average Iraqis under war and occupation, Jill is a true believer in Arab causes.
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. She doesn't just "like" Arab culture, she loves it.
