American Reporter Jill Carroll Will be Used By Political Liberals Now That She's Been Released By Kidnappers in Iraq-Fiction!

 

 

 

Summary of the eRumor:  
The email claims to have "insider information" on former hostage Jill Carroll from a former classmate at the University of Massachusetts.  The eRumor says she was "...an extreme liberal...has never been a fan of America...she hates the military.
The Truth:  
Journalist Jill Carroll, a free-lancer for the Christian Science Monitor newspaper, was kidnapped on January 7, 2006 in Iraq by a group calling itself The Revenge Brigade. She and her Iraqi translator had traveled to Baghdad's western Adil neighborhood to interview a Sunni Arab politician. When he didn't show up, they started to leave but were attacked.  She was taken hostage and her translator was killed.  Among other things her abductors asked for Iraqi prisoners to be released..

Carroll was released 82 days later on March 30, 2006. A video interview with Carroll, timed with her release, was broadcast on a jihadist website that has previously carried videos of beheadings and attacks on American forces. In the interview Carroll praised her captors and criticized America

A real example of the eRumor as it has appeared on the Internet:

Subject: Jill Carroll's "release in Iraq " and how the libs
will use it to dupe America

I just heard from a good friend of mine who attended the
University of Massachusetts when Jill Carroll was a
journalism student there and a reporter on the school
newspaper. Since UMASS is not Ohio State , he not only
personally knew her there, but read her articles, and what
he has to say is incredibly unsettling if you have seen her
on TV the past few days since her release. To suggest she
is about to be used by all of liberalism and the leftist
media to hurt the USA and portray further abandonment of
our troops "to the troops" is suggested in his note to me,
which I have paraphrased to keep his identity confidential.
I know this guy well and he is a super straight shooter,
and his knowledge is firsthand. Read on:

"I have some inside information that I ask you circulate so
that everyone is not blindsided by what seems likely to
happen once the leftists begin to use the Jill Carroll
release by the terrorists in Iraq . I was amused to see
America 's media this morning debating whether Jill Carroll
is suffering from the "Stockholm Syndrome" as a result of
her captivity in Iraq . In case you and your colleagues find
yourselves somehow being drawn into this debate, which I
expect will only grow in the next couple of days once she
starts giving major media interviews, I wanted to give you
a bit of background on Jill. I actually know Jill quite
well from UMass, where she was a reporter for the school
newspaper. When Jill makes comments about how her suffering
was nothing compared to the Iraqi people and that she is
rooting for the insurgents, Jill is NOT suffering from
Stockholm Syndrome. She is an extreme liberal [probably
more communist/socialist]; she has never been a fan of
America [which she used to spell Amerikkka in her
articles], she hates the military, and she despises
"republikkkans" as she likes to write. I have no doubt that
she went to Iraq with a political agenda and wouldn't be
surprised to hear some outrageous things come out of her
mouth in the upcoming days. She is an activist way beyond
Cindy Sheehan------ so watch out. We are in for a whole
string of anti-us and anti-military comments. Mark my
words, you are going to see her on Larry King talking about
how the military is abusing the Iraqi people and how bad
the war is, and about how righteous her captors are."

So----- to be forewarned is to be forearmed. Please make
sure we get this into the hands of as many folks on the
side of the USA and the troops as possible, as she is
surely going to be used by the media to try to undermine
all that is going on in Iraq .
