Wouldn't it be interesting to give that letter to several handwriting 'experts' and see what characteristics and personality traits they would associate. Not attractive. Erratic for sure? No dots on the i's that I can tell. 'Smashed' W's. She's a Muslim now. I'll never understand it. Surely she has seen women maltreated in her Muslim 'fantasy oasis' world, has seen children treated as slaves and sextoys. I've seen these types occasionally on TV. They think they are so cool, so beyond the mundane masses of the Western civilization with their greed and frenzy of acquisition and self concern. What disgusting people infidels are. So ignorant, so full of themselves. .....See, you keep hearing that crap everyday, a lot of bimbo leftists just jump right in.

JOHN:
WHERE IS THE INFO THAT SHE IS NOW A MUSLIM? PLEASE PUT A POST ABOUT THAT ON YOUR SITE, AND I'LL LINK TO IT.
DEBBIE SCHLUSSEL

I was thinking the same thing about the handwritting John. It looks like a little girl wrote it. I'm surprised it wasn't in written in crayon.

didn't she sing that son "PEOPLE WHO DIED" No wait that was Jim Carroll

Her atrocious handwriting and poor composition was the first thing that struck me. I've seen second-graders with better penmanship skills.

Look at this, for example;

"I want to write and tell you..."

It should be written as, "I want to write TO tell you..."

Another gem;

"...good treatment in helping me after I have been released."

It should be written as, "...good treatment AND HELP after I HAD been released."

And she's a journalist?!

BTW, if her captors had been so kind, caring, and benevolent, then why would she need ANYONE'S help in protecting her? Why would she go out of her way to thank him for his good treatment after her release? Was she treated poorly in captivity? Or perhaps it's because she knows that all Moslum women are treated like shit and she wants to thank him for enabling her to be treated as something as precious as his camel or his Mercedes Benz?

Look for this LIBERAL, America-hating scum to be interviewed by;

1. The Islamofascist apologist, Oprah Winfrey,

2. Al Franken-stein on Airhead America,

3. Michael Moron for his next America-hating docu-drama,

4. Katie Couric for her next Bush-hating "expose",

5. Larry "The Crypt-Keeper" King,

6. Chris Matthew for his latest Bush-Bash Fest on his ratings-starved show, Spitball,

She'll also appear as the keynote speaker along with Cindy Sheehan at the next Democrat Convention.

MY jewLOVING venration of YOU me dearlingest Deb would qualify you for a beheading---JC Jill Caroll DESERVES the same???

Is it better for the little woman to have the weight of her upbringing, education, ethical foundation and experience kidnapped by total strangers who would define her through a lens of speculation tinted by vitriol, than the experience of the kidnapping of her physical being?

Frankly, I think it a cruelty atop another cruelty, no matter if she's left, right or middle.

Your view, Ms. Schlussel, and most of the comments above disturb and sicken me. Attacks on her penmanship? She was held under threat of death for three months! You should all be ashamed of yourselves.

And now that she's home and it's become clear these statements were made while she had a gun to her head, I suppose Carroll can expect a contrite apology from you yahoos?

ACTUALLY, CHARLIE, YOU NEED TO READ MORE CAREFULLY. SHE NEVER CONTRADICTED THE STATEMENTS OF HER FORMER EMPLOYER (BY HER CHOICE), THE JORDAN TIMES. I CITED THOSE, NOT THE VIDEO. SHE ALSO NEVER DENOUNCED THESE AMERICAN ISLAMIST GROUPS WHO WORKED SO HARD FOR HER BUT NO OTHER U.S. HOSTAGES. THE APOLOGY SHOULD BE FORTHCOMING FROM YOU, BUT WE'RE NOT HOLDING OUR COLLECTIVE BREATHS FOR IT.
DEBBIE SCHLUSSEL

I HOPE we will SOON SEE a Jill Carroll that RENOUNCES ALL her anti-American statements.

JILL Carroll calls her captors "criminals, at best" and says she remains "deeply angry" with them.

WHAT?

Deeply angry?? Criminals at best?!!

That’s it?! THAT’S ALL??!!!!!

Like trying to stone her kidnappers with POPCORN…that’s hardly a fitting condemnation for those MURDEROUS THUGS!

They MURDERED your friend Alan John Ghazi. Do YOU EVEN remember?

Here, let me help you out…Your captors were MURDERERS and COWARDS like ALL of FUNDAMENTALIST ISLAM! Yes, all COWARDS, and all TERRORISTS who gang up on DEFENSELESS citizens, or in the case of the Arab League of Nations (22 nations) 22 NATIONS who gang up on ONE NATION, Israel!

If we don’t see a STRONGER CONDEMNATION of FUNDAMENTALIST ISLAM from Jill Carroll, then my first thoughts of her will remain.

A misfit, a traitor, a nerd, a complete moron...~ A present day, smiley, freaky follower and Helter Skelter throwback to…not the Manson Family, but to the Charlie Manson RELIGION of today…FUNDAMENTALIST ISLAM.

After all…BOTH were founded on CRAZY VISIONS and MURDER!

So Jill is it the RED, WHITE and BLUE for you? Or will YOU again don the HEADSCARF and “drapes”, and finally carve a CRESENT into your forehead?

Well johnnnyrotten…beauty is in the eye of the beholder.

I guess Debbie’s “looks” are all you see. Certainly she is attractive–

The rest of us saw something else as well…a lot more than that.

Kind of shallow and nasty of you to say something like that when Debbie is an excellent journalist and has championed many worthy causes~

You owe her an apology…but I realize “punkers” are very much self-absorbed and beholden to no one (Anarchy vs. Decency).

Western_Civ change your call name to Backwards_Civ.

The fact her Arab buddies tried to save Jill "behind the scenes" and that she has been critical of the US involvement in Iraq is common knowledge. Did you not see her twin sister make similar statements?

So are you going to apologize to her now?

APOLOGIZE FOR WHAT? YOU NEED TO READ MORE CAREFULLY. SHE NEVER CONTRADICTED OR RECANTED THE STATEMENTS OF HER FORMER EMPLOYER (BY HER CHOICE), THE JORDAN TIMES. I CITED THOSE, NOT THE VIDEO. SHE ALSO NEVER DENOUNCED THESE AMERICAN ISLAMIST GROUPS WHO WORKED SO HARD FOR HER BUT NO OTHER U.S. HOSTAGES. NO APOLOGIES OWED.
DEBBIE SCHLUSSEL

Ms. Schlussel:

You should be grateful that Ms. Carroll was released unharmed. The great Jewish philanthropist and statesman, Bernard Baruch said, "Every man has a right to be wrong in his opinions. But no man has a right to be wrong in his facts."

WHAT WAS BARUCH'S POSITION ON READING COMPREHENSION SKILLS FOR DUMMIES? LIKELY, HE'D HAVE RECOMMENDED SUCH A COURSE FOR YOU. MY FACTS STAND UNCORRECTED. NEVER CITED THE VIDEO. I CITED OTHER THINGS SHE STILL HASN'T DENOUNCED OR DISOWNED. IF YOU SPENT MORE TIME LEARNING TO READ RATHER THAN SEARCHING UNAPPLICABLE QUOTES, YOU'D PERHAPS GET THAT. BUT NOT LIKELY, IN YOUR EXTREME CASE.
DEBBIE SCHLUSSEL

Charlie (Colorado) and others on the left, no apology for you.

President Bush is right, Jill Carroll was wrong.

You guys should be ashamed and apologize for exploiting Carroll's plight to try to get one over on others.

In fact, Kevin Hayden should apologize for calling Carroll "the little woman."

Lots of name calling... yes yes. But the only one here to provide any real information to support their claims is in fact Debbie. Funny that.

What would anyone expect Jill Carroll to say NOW? That she hates the U.S.? For me, her supporters reveal some insightful clues. Why would they extend themselves so fully for a lowly reporter? And only ONE reporter at that. I don't think she was involved in any conspiracy. Nothing like that at all. But I do believe she identified with our enemies just a little too closely for comfort.

Debbie has posted her info, now post yours. And not just what Jill Carroll says now.

I HOPE we will SOON SEE a Jill Carroll that RENOUNCES ALL her anti-American statements.

Canadian, she'd renouced the statements and explained they were made with a gun to her head before you even posted.

ACTUALLY, CHARLIE, YOU NEED TO READ MORE CAREFULLY. SHE NEVER CONTRADICTED THE STATEMENTS OF HER FORMER EMPLOYER (BY HER CHOICE), THE JORDAN TIMES. I CITED THOSE, NOT THE VIDEO. SHE ALSO NEVER DENOUNCED THESE AMERICAN ISLAMIST GROUPS WHO WORKED SO HARD FOR HER BUT NO OTHER U.S. HOSTAGES.
DEBBIE SCHLUSSEL

DeBodine:

"...The only one here to provide any real information to support their claims is in fact Debbie. Funny that."

Bullcrap, that. Ms. Schlussel's "info" consists of hysterical accusations based on something written by a Jordanian editorialist, a propaganda video of Carroll that was made at gunpoint and a thank you note and video made while Carroll was still in harm's way.

It's interesting that you put more credence in what Carroll said while she was in the clutches of murderous thugs and their fellow travelers than what she says now that she's free to speak her mind. If she's really the "Infidelette" jihadist scum, etc., that folks here have alleged, why wouldn't she trash the US now?

As for why people would extend themselves for a "lowly reporter," I can only speak for myself -- when I see an innocent person hideously slandered, I call out the bullies who are doing the slandering.

HINT, BETTY CRAPPER:
THE JORDAN TIMES WAS HER EMPLOYER, HER CHOSEN EMPLOYER (BEFORE THE CHRISTIAN SCIENCE MONITOR). IT IS AN ANTI-SEMITIC, ANTI-AMERICAN PAPER. THEY KNEW HER VIEWS BETTER THAN YOU. NONE OF WHAT I WROTE HAD ANYTHING TO DO WITH THINGS SHE SAID WHILE IN CAPTIVITY. NEVER REFERENCED THE VIDEO, ETC. TIME FOR YOU TO LEARN HOW TO READ, A VITAL STEP BEFORE STARTING A BLOG.
DEBBIE SCHLUSSEL

Betty_Cracker:

"As for why people would extend themselves for a 'lowly reporter,' I can only speak for myself --when I see an innocent person hideously slandered, I call out the bullies who are doing the slandering."

Love your quaint use of comments around my words. I suppose that means something special to a Leftologist such as yourself. When I mentioned people extending themselves I was referring to the trip to Jordan on Carroll's behalf. Something I don't believe has been done for any other reporter lowly or otherwise. Certainly not for Nick Burg and company. Funny that.

So when you "see an innocent person hideously slandered, I call out the bullies who are doing the slandering." Is that right... unless of course that person is, oh I don't know, Katherine Harris maybe?

"Quaint use of comments" around your words? Hmmm, I didn't learn that one in Leftology School. However, in grade school English classes, we were instructed to use quotation marks to denote quoted matter. I'm not sure why you would find such a practice quaint, unless you subscribe the the Ben Domenech principles of writing -- no attribution required.

Oh, maybe you mean it's quaint to quote your own words back to you in a comments section? Again, pretty standard stuff, and after all, you laid down the guantlet, inviting those who disagree with Ms. Schlussel to post their info. I noticed you failed to address any of the points around that.

Katherine Harris, innocent? Nope, just another smug, conniving politician who deserves every heaping shovelful of mud slung in her direction. Just another unhinged extremist from whom every respectable political operative in Florida is distancing him or herself.

But before we veer wildly off topic again, let's get back to the point: Ms. Schlussel and the others who piled onto Ms. Carroll should either issue an apology or produce SOMETHING besides third-hand innuendo as evidence that she is indeed an "Infidelette" jihadist, etc.

ACTUALLY, MS. CRACKER NEEDS A READING COMPREHENSION COURSE. SHE RETRACTED A VIDEO, WHICH I MENTIONED WHERE? NEVER. I CITED OTHER THINGS WHICH REMAIN FACTS: CARROLL'S EXTREMIST ISLAMIST FRIENDS IN THE U.S. AND HER CHOICE OF ANTI-SEMITIC, ANTI-AMERICAN EMPLOYER, JORDAN TIMES, WHICH ENUNCIATED HER VIEWS--VIEWS SHE HAS YET TO SPECIFICALLY DISOWN.
DEBBIE SCHLUSSEL

What Baghdad beauty salon did Ms. Carroll go to to have red highlights put on her hair? HMMMMMM?

So Jill Carroll's been released and she's disavowed the statements she made under "duress". How nice. However, it's easy to deny things she's said...it's another thing altogether to come out and say what's really on her mind. A denial is just that...a denial. Let's see what's really in her heart. C'mon, Jill, hold a press conference and condemn not only the barbarians who held you hostage, but tell us how you really feel regarding America's involvement in that part of hell called the Middle East.

Then, you can go to a health club and lose some of that weight you gained while in captivity. Funny thing...hostages usually LOSE weight while held under threat of death. You, on the other hand, became pleasantly plump. I guess eating halal is nothing like Atkins.

Isn't it funny how certain Leftists who post here demanding apologies and retractions never demand the same of others like;

1. Blabra Streisand,
2. Michael Moron,
3. Howard Dean and The DNC.

LMFAO!!

Jay Rosen+ wingwingnut plus others;Plenty of time.Watch how this play's out and you'll see why Debbie's on the mark 99.999% of the time with all stories and info and you guys are - want to be's-.

Jay Rosen ;Going to loose you as a reader?Big F....ing Deal

She was coerced into making statements!!

You need to apologize for this character defamation.

NONE OF THE STATEMENTS I REFERENCED WERE MADE WHILE IN CAPTIVITY. NEVER REFERENCED THE VIDEO. LEARN HOW TO READ BEFORE WRITING AND CONFIRMING IDIOCY.
DEBBIE SCHLUSSEL

What are you talking about Bruno? This isn't Barbra Streisand or Michael Moore's blog, so it doesn't even makes sense that you're making up claims about "Leftists" not asking them for an apology. How dumb are you?

Just for you DEMANDING!!!! Debbie to kowtow to you, Debbie is an observant Jew. She doesn't post on Saturday or usually not Sunday.

I am SO glad you people with your panties all in a bunch DEMANDED!!! Alec Baldwin apologize to Henry Hyde for saying he and his family should be stoned to death.

Gosh! Jill recanted her statments so Debbie owes her an apology? It is truly amazing how easy it is to fool people.

The tragedy is that there are plenty on both the Left and the Right that take great comfort in winning stupid points, all the while not noticing that this country is going down the drain, along the same lines--albeit a bit slower--than our Eurotrash friends.

Damn, Debbie...not accepting my trackback...AGAIN?? I thought I was pretty nice this time...all things considered.

DIDN'T EVEN SEE THAT YOU HAD A TRACKBACK. MUST NOT BE WORKING.
DEBBIE SCHLUSSEL

mxmat2; to bad.

mxmat2;and who are you again?like it matters.

To all you that feel or think this apology crap is valid bring your knee pads,i'll show you what to do.

To Mantookus,

You're really too dumb to live.

Since you can't even comprehend booting your computer - you have to ask your mommy to do it from your basement apartment - I will explain my point further so that even a complete numbskull, like yourself, can understand.

You're correct in stating that this blog isn't Blabra Streisand's or Michael Moron's. However, the same Leftist, LIBERAL assholes (such as yourself) constantly engage in double standards by demanding that Debbie post retractions and apologies (for posting the truth), but you never demand the same from the congenital liars and the enemies of America (LIBERALS such as Blabra and Moron) for fabricating their lies on their blogs on a daily basis. And, those numbnuts aren't even creative - they just regurgitate the daily talking points (lies) faxed to them from the DNC. What creativity does that involve? They're nothing but a bunch of mind-numbed robots!

Nice try, moron, but your big-ass, LIBERAL Man-tookus is showing.

Why don't you try proving your claims Bruno.

Many comments here show reading comprehension problems. Debbie Sch. has amply documented the real Jill Carroll. Has Jill's captivity changed her? Perhaps, but her track record is clear. She has been a Muslim Arab sympathizer for years.

Deb. You are wrong to link her to Marla Ruzicka who was honest and good at the end of her life. The US troops liked her

Hi Debbie, I'm a new reader and your newest admirer. It seems that you have lots of liberals and not a few conservatives stirred up over this, so you must be right on the money. It sickens me to see how so many who claim to be loyal patriots fall all over themselves to apologize for this traitor, and how they rush to attack you for daring to speak the truth.
To me, to excuse treason is unfogivable, because as Cicero said: "A nation can survive its fools, and even the ambitious. But it cannot survive treason from within. An enemy at the gates is less formidable, for he is known and carries his banner openly. But the traitor moves amongst those within the gate freely, his sly whispers rustling through all the alleys, heard in the very halls of government itself. For the traitor appears not a traitor; he speaks in accents familiar to his victims, and he wears their face and their arguments, he appeals to the baseness that lies deep in the hearts of all men. He rots the soul of a nation, he works secretly and unknown in the night to undermine the pillars of the city, he infects the body politic so that it can no longer resist. A murder is less to fear."
Keep up the fight.
