[General Gonad]

American hostage Jill Carroll, the freelance journalist who was kidnapped in Baghdad January 7, has been released unharmed, The Christian Science Monitor said today. Carroll called her father in Chapel Hill, North Carolina, to let him know she was safe, officials and newspaper staff said. "This is a wonderful day," said the paper's David Cook.

All that matters is that she's safe, I guess, but I can't help but wonder about that, and the details of her release. As I understand, she was released, not rescued, but maybe someone can shed more info?

btyger,

She was released and in an interview with CBS, she said that her captors treated her very well. I am also glad she is safe. She is a courageous and intelligent woman whose heart is in the right place.

Why do I have a feeling that something about this particular "kidnapping" does not jive.

Kaempferrand,

What are you implying - that it was staged? Her translator was brutally murdered...what exactly doesn't jive?
