Under Duress

Former captive and Christian Science Monitor freelance journalist Jill Carroll on Saturday disavowed earlier comments she made that criticized the U.S. military, saying they were made under duress. Carroll also criticized the Islamists who held her hostage for 82 days: "I will not engage in polemics. But let me be clear: I abhor all who kidnap and murder civilians, and my captors are clearly guilty of both crimes."

Remember, these are the people who will take over if the U.S. cuts and runs.
