My Way News - Carroll Rejects Statements Made in Iraq: "RAMSTEIN AIR BASE, Germany (AP) - Protected by the U.S. military and far from the country where she had been held hostage, Jill Carroll strongly disavowed statements she had made during captivity in Iraq and shortly after her release, saying Saturday she had been repeatedly threatened.
In a video, recorded before she was freed and posted by her captors on an Islamist Web site, Carroll spoke out against the U.S. military presence. But in a statement Saturday, she said the recording was made under threat. Her editor has said three men were pointing guns at her at the time.
'During my last night in captivity, my captors forced me to participate in a propaganda video. They told me I would be released if I cooperated. I was living in a threatening environment, under their control, and wanted to go home alive. So I agreed,' she said in a statement read by her editor in Boston.
'Things that I was forced to say while captive are now being taken by some as an accurate reflection of my personal views. They are not.'"

At least she has the decency to renounce her captors
as opposed to the less than thankful christian activists that were released or I should say rescued earlier last month. (that of coarse minus the less fortunate Tom Fox)
The urge to save humanity is always a false front for the urge to rule it. H. L. Mencken
