Seems Jill Carroll is refusing to talk to authorities concerning her captives. She already has been caught lying in her post release interview where she says she was not threatened, since she was on video with AK- 47's trained on her head. Stokholm syndrome???? I'm not buying it...how about you?

Remember, she was at the Iraqi Islamic headquarters when she made that statement. Let's see if her story changes once she is safely under the protection of US forces.

The Mujahadeen has stressed that they were not responsable for her drivers death....hummmmmmm?
To: JABBERBONK
The media is emphasizing how "peaceful" the kidnappers were/are; and SHE'S emphasizing "how well" she was treated.
Doesn't sound right.

I seem to remember in the early stages of the war some article about how the Islamonuts offer their captives the opportunity to convert to Islam, or else. Ask her if she still loves Jesus.

Maybe the translator was a patriot and a stand up guy, and the only way to her was over him?

I have felt that way since the last time she was shown pleading for her life. Since these islamofacist don't seem to respect their own women, it seems that she looked awfully clean and well fed in that interview and now that she has been released she speaks of how she wasn't threatened. My warning lights start flashing whenever I see her.

wouldn't suprise me to find her sympathies lie with the "captors" and that maybe she was in on it all along.
Perfect for a book.

" The media is emphasizing how "peaceful" the kidnappers were/are; and SHE'S emphasizing "how well" she was treated."
This is what bothers me, it doesn't fit the standard m.o. we have seen from these groups.
Those attempting to make a name for themselves, as jihadist, don't release smiling, well fed happy prisoners. Usually the release is in 2 parts.
The head on one side of Baghdad and the body on the other side.

I said at the time of her "capture" that she seemed far more likely to have been a collaborator than a captive. Subsequent events, especially her public statements, only serve to reinforce this view. She's just lucky her "captors" didn't find her more useful dead.

I was amazed at her cheerfulness and the fact that she is still alive. They don't usually keep real prisioners alive. It smells fishy to me.

"She doesn't just "like" Arab culture, she loves it."
I can't understand why women embrace a culture that treats them like chattel. I knew a woman once who was enamoured with Arab culture - we went to middle eastern restaurants, and she took up belly dancing - but she was an ardent femeninst and wouldn't have survived a day in Saudi.

I don't have a dog in this, but her translator was killed at the kidnapping. Making her an accessory to murder.

I do believe that there is more here than what we are now being told. I am especially wary since her parents live in The People's Republic of Chapel Hill, NC.

it seems like they could have avoided killing ...
There you go again ... thinking like a rational person.
The Jihadists like to kill. They are psychopaths and serial murderers that have been given a license to commit murder by their religion, its prophet, its writings and its priests.

Driving home form work last evening, I heard a report that there were two groups involved in her kidnapping. The hysterical first video was apparently made while she was in the hands of the first group and comes off as the standard kidnap for ransom group. (The translator was probably killed because 1) he had little/no ransom value, 2) he could probably identify the kidnappers, 3) he tried to interfere, 4)anybody working for Westerners is de facto proof they are a apostate/traitor, and 5) standard practice since the bodyguards, drivers and translators always seem to be killed in these incidents.)
Later, she supposedly was bought by/given to an Islamist Group which held her for the majority of her captivity. The political party she was released to was also involved in her kidnapping since it was an official of the same party that she was going to interview when the kidnapping went down. The official was conveniently absent from the scene at the time.
I'm not sure about her role in the original kidnapping. As some one else commented, she liked her translator. However, collusion is not out of the question. She is somewhat suspect already because she is a long time student of Arabic language and culture. And we have the example of the two left-wing Italian women journalists that probably did collude in their kidnapping to raise money for the terrorists and embarrass the Italian government.
However, she may just be keeping prudently silent on the details while she is still in Iraq. She may have gotten a warning prior to her release that she could still be harmed if she said anything bad about her captors.

She went native well before she was abducted. Expect a littany of anti-American sentiment and islamic rationale from her in the days to come.

It's not some syndrome, she's just one of those idiots that hate and blame America for everything and no matter what the terrorist do, for example kill her entire family, she would still be saying.... it is very important for everyone to know I was never hurt, never threatened, never hit blah blah blah BS
