1. i think the media are disappointed
it makes for a "sexier" story if she was murdered.

2. You're right adriennui
They were hoping to use her death as another bludgeon to beat up on Muslims.

15. So why don't you really study
the history of christianity. Ask the indigenous people of this hemisphere. Ask the African people -unless lynching was a christian act. Just keep asking and give up the kool-aid. There are no saints in any religion except in your deluded mind.

7. Yeah. That's the ticket
The insurgents are shaking in their boots and afraid to leave their houses. American troops control the country completely and can roam the country with impunity, with little fear of insurgents. The kidnappers were so freaked out by the absolute iron fisted control of American troops that they took the hostage to a McDonalds in the dead of night, and ran off madly, peeing their pants.

I think I saw that on FauxNews, too.

33. hey, I saw wet t-shirt contests on Faux news while talking serial killer
so I know they're a class act.

:)

of course, I saw it on the daily show because if I really watch faux news I have to stick darning needles in my eyes afterwards.

you any wool" which is also a strong political commentary on today's corporate fleecing of the ignorant sheeple. Don't let the age fool you about a child's perception, many times they still see things that we've all forgotten as we've gotten older/more jaded.

Just for perspective, what age range are you VORIC 13? I'm in my 40's

And bush is the world's number one LIAR. I didn't have to tell him a thing!

So tell me, why do you think our soldiers dying in Iraq? For what noble cause? Enlighten me....

12. they saw how effective we were in catching Osama and Zarqawi, i guess.
And it struck fear into their hearts that they would be hunted down as ruthlessly? Uh, okay.

19. The successful raid where the hostages were all alone? Where
their captors were no where to be found?

Did the news mention when they started planning her rescue vs the time since she's been a captive? Or just the spin that the Glorious Forces of W were right on the spot?

24. Maybe just maybe..
.... they ultimately found respect for her because she works for one of the handful of news organizations that tell something like the unbiased truth.

Even if their name has "Christian" in it.

25. Here's a more accurate idea
Jill Carroll wasn't abducted. She was acting in those videos the US filmed to try to drup up support for the war. This "rescue" has the Jessica Lynch smell all over it.

27. I wondered that myself - two different releases - reports of 'plans'
in the works.

All coming just after the big WH propogand push about the media never reporting any good news from Iraq.

If nothing else, this (mis)Administration has cured me of my belief in coincidences.

13. But that was over 2 months ago
So it's not actually a good reason for why she was released now.

Just guessing.

30. My guess as to why
And i hadn't followed it closely but it seems that the csmonitor and other organizations succeeded in raising awareness amongst muslims about Jill and it was pressure from within the muslim community that did this. Also of interst is that her twin sister made a moving appeal yesterday, you can see that at cnn.com.
