Jill Carroll, American journalist and recently released hostage of Iraqi insurgents, is now the subject of some mind boggling criticism.

While in the custody of the insurgents, they videotaped and distributed statements made by her that "The mujahedeen are the ones that will win in the end," adding that the insurgents "are good people fighting an honorable fight while the Americans are here as an occupying force treating the people in a very bad way."

After her release, while at Sunni party headquarters, still in Iraq, she stated that the insurgents treated her well and did not threaten her. After flying to Germany she stated that she still feared for her safety at that time and was not speaking freely.

Additionally, some have claimed that Carroll refused to travel with US military personell and that she refused to speak with US officials. Neither is true. Capt. Patrick Kerr of the US Marines spoke of her stating, "Her professionalism and objectivity were unparalleled within the media community."

Radio Personality Bernard McGuirk said, "She strikes me as the kind of woman who would wear one of those suicide vests. You know, walk into the try and sneak into the Green Zone."

A conservative writer for the LA Times, Jonah Goldberg complained that Carroll was "starting to bug [him]." He said, "it would be nice to hear her say something remotely critical of her captors."

Debbie Schlussell, in a particularly hostile tirade stated that Carroll, "HATES AMERICA and our Mid-East policy. And, oh yeah, she HATES ISRAEL, too." Schlussell went on to describe Carroll as a "spoiled brat America-hater from Ann Arbor" and stated that "Jill Carroll is the tool and partner of extremists and terrorists."

Now the victims of terrorists are also UnAmerican? Imagine how excited these three will get when they realize that there are nearly 3,000 Americans ripe for criticism, who died in NY and Washington a few years ago at the hands of terrorists, and they are dead and can't defend themselves.
