Are up to to their old tricks:

According to this report, Jill Carroll was under pressure from the group that kidnapped her while taping the interview

"Jill Carroll's kidnappers reportedly warned her before her release that she might be killed if she cooperated with the Americans or went to the Green Zone, saying it was infiltrated by insurgents."

"Bergenheim said Friday that Carroll's parents, who spoke to her about the video, told him it was "conducted under duress. When you're making a video and having to recite certain things with three men with machine guns standing over you, you're probably going to say exactly what you're told to say," Bergenheim added."

I hope that clears up a few things for the likes of "Little Green Footballs" who attacked her immediately upon her release. Here's some comments that are approved by Charles Johnson about Jill:

"I've been watching this traitor bitch fawn all over her captors this morning. "Nice furniture, safe, nice clothes, they NEVER threatened me". I'm very glad you were so comforatble while working to undermine our efforts in Iraq. Now, wipe that muslim DNA from your face and confess to pre-planning this?"

"She's probably coming home with a suitcase full of cash (her kickback) and a dose of the clap."

No wonder advertisers are scared away because of the  " Constitutionally protected hate speech" found there.

Whatever... These people are beyond being idiots. Cut the woman some slack. If anyone should be accussed of being a Bukkake recipient, it is these morons from the Right, who have taken so many facials from Karl Rove and the Bush Administration, that they should be elegible for the Porn Actors pension fund.

UPDATE: Someone with real credibility, on these issues pipes in, and I am glad he did:

Allah has a roundup of some of the reactions to the Jill Carroll video released yesterday. It's disturbing that so many are willing to begin naysaying the character of one who has been victimized for the past three months. Debbie Schlussel's post here, especially (Hat tip: Allah).

What would you say to your captors after months as a prisoner? You'd tell them exactly what they want to hear. Remember, the only video we have of Jill Carroll are two segments taped while she was still a prisoner--under a considerable amount of duress. The second video we have is one taped in the offices of The Islamic Party of Iraq--the political front for the same terrorists who had victimized her!

No one has logged more post on terrorism in Iraq than Rusty, and he seems to be one of the decent people who are taking politics out of this and considering the victim. Right on Rusty!
