She doesn't have Stockholm Syndrome. She has a bad case of fear ~ remember, these same guys murdered her translator. Odds are they raped her several times a day (woman alone you know), and it will take her a while to decompress.

In the meantime the MSM will feed on her until finally they have gorged enough.

She didn't seem very fearful to me. However, it struck me that she might have staged this thing, because she seemed to be enjoying the lime-light just a bit too much.

Perhaps she is sincere and just wants to help, and was just a little too unhinged for this country anyway. I was thinking that America exports a lot of energetic, confident people all over the world.

Too bad she is supporting terrorists. I have no doubt that they would have slaughtered her without hesitation is circumstances had changed only slightly, just as they did that Red Crescent woman during the war.

Classic brainwashing begins by washing the old sense of self, and adding a new one. In basic training, it works by forcing individuals to conform as a team under intense pressure. In Patti Hurst's case, it was days locked in a closet going to the bathroom on herself. I don't doubt this poor girl went through something similar.

After that, the mind is open to receive whatever the trainer wants.

I have no doubt that these guys did something similar, whether they understood what they were doing or not.

I'm not an expert, but I think that "Stockholm Syndrome" and classic brainwashing are one and the same. In one case the individuals merely discover a way to work together by instinct, and in the other it's planned ahead. But the symptoms on the victim are identical.
