I'm starting to believe her. After all, the statement she made immediately after her release was in the islamic or Sunni part headquarters. I suspect that I wouldn't be very trusting there either.

Perhaps. Unless your boyfriend was holding the camera.

For Jill Carroll, this is not about war, terrorism, or civilization. This is about her. A 29 yr. old pampered princess who kept her idealism because she never, ever bothered to find out the truth. Not that truth matters...
Jill studied Arabic. How special.

Anyone who doubts the veracity of this story need only make a time line. Jill is pro-Arab, her first phone call was to CNN, she is fit beyond belief(seriously) and she couldn't get her own story straight without the U.S. military.

I would bet my eye teeth that this premiere example of an idiot American girl was seduced by a handsome terrorist.
Just take a close look at this girl, she is the uber wallflower, hence her interest in a cause that would make her "special" just by dint of her skin color.

I'm not clear on how she conducted an interview in the Sunni Party Headquarters. Did she walk in and they stuck a camera in front of her?

I'm starting to believe her about being abducted and not having anything to do with it. But she made it clear this morning when asked about our presence in Iraq that she does not want to comment "I won't get into polemics". I think she does believe we are "occupiers".

The transcript of her interview is revealing: they ask a short question and she answers in long embellished comments about how wonderful things were. Why not a polite reply?

Maybe I just don't understand because I've never experienced what she was going through but I think that she was and is a sympathizer to their cause. I don't think she had a hand in her abduction but she is not totally against what her captors stand for.
