Decision ‘08

To Those Who Criticized Jill Carroll…

…as if you had ever been held hostage for three months by militant Islamists with a penchant for beheadings (and I’m talking to you, Debbie Schlussel) - I present the following:

Video of kidnapped journalist Jill Carroll the night before her release is now being characterized by her employer The Christian Science Monitor as propaganda she was forced to take part in as the price for her freedom.

…The report says that contrary to comments she made in the video about lenient treatment by the kidnappers, who refer to themselves as the Revenge Brigade, Carroll lived in fear of the kidnappers who had killed her colleague Allen Anwiya, and that even the smallest details of her life — what she ate and when, what she wore, when she could speak — were at her captors’ whim. Before making the video before her release, she was reportedly told that they had already killed another American hostage.

Take that foot out of your mouth and stick it up your…

Um, that is to say, enjoy your weekend…
