Suspect woman

US journalist Jill Carroll may have been released from captivity in Iraq, but one US conservative is suspicious:

MCGUIRK: 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.

IMUS: Oh, no. No, no, no, no.

MCCORD: Just because she always appears in traditional Arab garb and wearing a burka.

MCGUIRK: Yeah, what’s with the head gear? Take it off. Let’s see.

IMUS: No, no. This is not –

MCCORD: That’s why the Arab world called for her to be released, because, you know, she defended Iraqis. She was against the war in Iraq and, I wouldn’t be surprised if —

IMUS: Well, so are we. So am I!

MCCORD: Exactly. She cooked with them, lived with them.

IMUS: This is not helping.

MCGUIRK: She may be carrying Habib’s baby at this point.

After all, you really can’t trust a woman wearing the hijab. She might just be a terrorist.

    I just saw a story that has to be one of the most cikenign examples of propaghanda.

    During her interview with Baghdad TV, Jill Carroll commented on how well she was treated and respected by her captors. The US media is is a spoin over this, suggesting that her comments are the delusaional ravings of someone suffereing from Stockholm syndrome.

    The US MSM seem determined that the Iraqi insurgents not be protrayed as human beings.
