Suddenly the angry left has nothing to say? You people are pathetic. Comment by Lothar — April 6, 2006 @ 5:29 am Why respond to sycophants, idiots who have no clue. One way to help guys, go to Iraq. They really need patriots such as yourself. Okay Lothar, the left has responded, I want to know if you are going to volunteer. Not one post in twenty four hours time?

She is anti-American, anti-military, and obviously has a weak spot for the enemy. Her statements show clearly how she feels. She would have been happier remaining in the hands of her "captors". I can't wait to hear more from her...on hoe islam is the Religion of Peace (tm) and how gentle and kind the muslims are, how they are misunderstood.... Tell that to Nick Berg, or the 3,000 who dies on 9/11. There is a special place reserved in hell for traitors.... Jill Carrol is a traitorous bitch.

She was threatened, she was terrorized and her statement was entirely coerced and a false. Then again, that is probably too much to expect from the sort of "people" who actively root for the victory of Islamofascist swine. The only good thing I could say about such a victory is that the moonbats would, in all likelihood be the first group to be dragged out into the town square for a collective beheading.
