Jill Carroll

Definitely one to put in the aw shit category:

The U.S. Ambassador to Iraq says he has it on good intelligence Jill Carroll is still alive and OK.

Remember all the "good intelligence" we got cooked up by the White House test lie kitchens? Things like:

  • Saddam was about to launch missiles at the West Coast which could strike us in just 45 minutes?
  • Saddam had a huge nuclear program?
  • Saddam had WMD everywhere?
  • Iraq would fucking pay for itself? Would be a cakewalk? Our soldiers would have flowers - rather than road bombs - tossed at their feet? We'd be in and out of there in 3-6 months?
IOW, hearing the US Ambassador toady to Bushies say Christian Science Monitor journalist Jill Carroll, now captured many weeks ago, is still alive is tantamount to ... well... it's ain't good, boys and girls.
