Jill Carroll's captors in Iraq let her go this morning. She was unharmed and said that except for being locked up, she was treated well -- not beaten, not raped, not tortured.
Her experience contrasts starkly with our government's treatment of the illegally-held and illegally tortured kidnap victims in Gitmo, Abu Ghraib, and Bagram AFB, Afghanistan, some of whom may be genuine terror suspects, but many of whom are guilty of nothing more than being disliked by their local police.
It will be interesting to see if Carroll's release and her testimony that she was treated humanely gets any kind of comment at all from the crusaders at the chauvinist, xenophobic, and virulently anti-Muslim site, Little Green Boogers.
