Jill Carroll: Her Story

After all those many weeks in captivity, former journalist Jill Carroll finally tells some of her story and the incredible ordeal she survived in the Christian Science Monitor where she has become an editor. What I felt was extremely unfortunate was that this young woman, once she survives a terrible situation in which she repeatedly was left to believe she would die, then faced brutal criticism by the far right after she was released.

They questioned Carroll's patriotism and allegiances, and tried to make her seem like a sell-out. This is almost laughable considering these same people love to turn fools into super-heroes... examples: Mel Gibson, Oliver North, Ronald Reagan, to name but a few.
