Scroll through for updates or check the MAIN PAGE here or our pages dedicated exclusively to Jill Carroll for the latest news on Jill Carroll and other hostages in Iraq.
----------
Disturbing news that al Jazeera has released yet another Jill Carroll video. This time, the massogonistic terrorists force Ms. Carroll to cover her head. Sickening.
UPDATE: While we continue to search for the unedited video, you can see the al Jazeera broadcast here (see right side of screen). As further evidence of al Jazeera's objectively pro-terrorist stance, anti-Americanism, and lies, earlier reports by the station itself that no audio were shown are not true. Al Jazeera does let this bit of audio slip by in the background:
their own government [inaudible] Iraq...let these people go home to their familiesUndoubtedly a reference to the female Iraqi prisoners.
Roy Hallums, a hostage liberated by U.S. troops, related that when his terrorist captors wanted him to cry on his video, they first beat him. They said they wanted his tears to look 'believable'.
We pray for Jill Carroll's immediate release and for divine retribution to visit her captors. Hopefully in the form of the unpleasent end of an M16.
Jill Carroll, the kidnapped US journalist, has appeared in a new video on Aljazeera, weeping and appealing for the release of women Iraqi prisoners.More information and background about the Jill Carroll hostage situation can be found here.The video, aired by Aljazeera on Monday, shows Carroll wearing a veil and weeping.
The video had no sound, but Aljazeera said she appealed for the release of women Iraqi prisoners. [Ed note: this is a deliberate falsehood on al Jazeera's part. Al Jazeera edited out most of Jill Carroll's pleas, but not a bit asking for the release of female prisoners]Carroll is visibly crying in the video and wears a veil as she speaks to the camera. The footage has a time signature with the date 28 January.
Aljazeera's newscaster said in the video Carroll appeals to the US military and the Iraqi Interior Ministry to release all women in their prisons and that this "would help in winning her release".
UPDATE: Come to think of it, this is VERY good news. Jill Carroll's captors had given the U.S. a 72 hour deadline to release female prisoners in Iraq. That deadline expired 8 days before this film was time stamped. While it is still possible that her life is being threatened, the fact that they've let at least two deadlines pass without (apparently) harming her is a sign that perhaps their threats are idle.

You know the 'radical' Islam types though, they were probably worried her hairstyle would give them a woody.
Let's hope for her safe return.

You'd expect this kind of reaction from Saudi Arabia, but not a Briton. Traitor.

Let's hope they turn her loose and that she smartens up.

The West should take the opportunity to act decisively against Iran's nuclear program and drop nuclear bombs on Iran.
Abdul Wali: would that not free millions of muslims to become Shaheed and have 72 virgins? Your culture and religion sucks, and your odour could be much improved (by lethal radiation).

Five of a total of eight were released. Which seems strange that in a country of 25 million only 3 women would have ties to the insurgency.

This hostage taking has to stop. I wonder why we can't plant trained people with tracking devices under their skin to be kidnapped, then send in the troops. It might take a while but after wiping out a few insurgent cells the muslims would probably turn chicken and lessen their attempts at abducting westerners.

a word about the missing audio though. is it possible that this is the one thing that al jazeera will cooperate with the authorities on? my understanding is that this is standard procedure for hostage situations to reduce false leads and controll for misinfo.
al jazeera may be doing this not nessesarily at the u.s.'s request, but at the request of the quatar government, who have divided loyalties.
another point, i don't believe their threats are idle. they may mke her execution part of the jihadist response to the sotu or are otherwise hoping to affix added signifigance to it. the taking of a woman and using her captivity to demand the release of women prisoners seems to me to be an act of premeditated symbolism.
the "peace" activists in iraq, i'm certain, are advising them well
also, improbulus maximus does not speak for me any more than a robert scheer or a cindy sheehan, and i reject his creepy, eliminationist reaction in the strongest terms.

What we're seeing, sadly, is the reality of a liberal getting her wake-up call to the reality of the world. The world is not a place of sweetness and light where all cultures are equal and everything is relative and "context" is all-important. These Muslims couldn't care less about context and relativity and equality. They just want to saw off the heads of people who don't submit to them. And this poor liberal woman is finding this out the hard way. God Bless and keep her, I hope she is delivered to safety.

It might just be one of the many rumors floating around Iraq, but on two other occasions Al Jazeera was accused of paying protesters to riot against Americans, and another time they interviewed militants trucked in to an IED bombing to rail against Americans while the Iraq who lived in the house two doors down claimed he had never seen them before.
The sad fact is, without the public distribution outlet Al Jazeera provides terrorists, many of these kidnappings would either not take place, or would be settled financially in a matter of days.

We should start our videos by having the Iraqi detainees eating bacon or something.
Filthy savages, with their backward culture, such as it is.

It's sad that someone almost "on their side" is being used in this exploitative way.
Let's hope they turn her loose and that she smartens up.
Posted by: youngbourbonprofessional at January 30, 2006 04:29 PM
She wasn't on the terrorists' side. She was on the side of honest law abiding Iraqis that want freedom. GD it!
This most recent kidnapping is further proof that Islam is a fundamentally de-humanising religion.
The West should take the opportunity to act decisively against Iran's nuclear program and drop nuclear bombs on Iran.
Abdul Wali: would that not free millions of muslims to become Shaheed and have 72 virgins? Your culture and religion sucks, and your odour could be much improved (by lethal radiation).

Of course the US & the Iraqi govt are unjustly imprisoning Iraqi women! For what reason? - none of course - but don't put it past those evil Americans to be using them for comfort girlees! This will of course 'explain" the actions of the "alleged" terrorists to you for your satisfaction. Clearly America has commited a crime against islam and must pay - so - sorry Jill Carrol - you are available.
Jason can now feel better - and fake his concern and blame your death on America.
BTW Jason - There is now a new job opening for a journalist in Iraq - you might like it - you write well enough - get out - meet the people - maybe come to understand them - get the truth out about the evil American Occupation.
I'm sure they will welcome you with open arms.

There's an old saying that a conservative is a liberal who's been mugged. If she makes it out alive, I wonder what she'll think of the poor widdle terrorists, er, freedom fighters.
God grant that she is returned home safely.

Nice try at sentimentality - doesn't work given your phony link - safe to assume your phony too - and looking to be coyly provacative with a holier than thou approach.

Her sister ran a web site calling her “Lady of Arabia†which suggests Lawrence of Arabia who was well known for his romantic illusions. I ask you... does this quote also reflect a bit of a 'martyr' complex?
“There are more lucrative ways to work and faster ways to advance a career,†she wrote in March 2005 for the American Journalism Review. “But just as athletes do it for love of the game, freelancers in Iraq seem to do it for love of the story.â€
She wrote freelance for the Christian Science Monitor articles that were biased towards the 'worsening' situation:
“The anger and violence have only gotten worse since†April 2004, she wrote in AJR, and she specifically mentioned kidnapping as a threat.
Like all the collaborators she actively participates and in so doing further reinforces her bona fides guaranteeing her eventual release.
But just like previous staged 'events' she did seem to make it pretty easy:
Carroll had reportedly been there to interview Adnan al-Dulaimi, the leader of the Iraqi Accordance Front, a Sunni political party. He wasn’t there and she left after waiting between 20 and 30 minutes. According to the driver and witnesses, the gunmen forced the driver to stop, then pulled him out of the car, piled in and drove away with Carroll and her translator, Allan Enwiyah, 32. “All together, it didn't take 10 seconds,†Carroll's driver told the Washington Post Monday night. Later Saturday, Enwiyah was found dead on the side of a road in Adel, the neighborhood where they were taken.
Anybody want to talk about Sunni leaks?
This 'abduction' was hushed up because the newsies themselves decided they might be able to 'negotiate'.
Or was that collaborate?
She will pass the 'Islamic Witch Test' as only the innocent are burned. The guilty are released to burn us...

I don't see any difference between those who want to "nuke Iran" or "kill Iraqi female detainees" and the terrorists holding Jill. You are all the same.
Why don't you all go to an island so you can battle it out and leave the rest of us alone!

Our military will not transform the region, and Jill Carroll is imply a pawn being used by cowards who believe they are men by kidnapping a woman. We should take care of the terrorists, and then leave for good. Jill Carroll is an American, we should all hope for her release, with the left and right crap aside.
