In Iraq, a new video has been broadcast showing kidnapped freelance journalist Jill Carroll. The silent video showed Carroll in tears in clear emotional distress. She was kidnapped over three weeks ago in Baghdad. Al Jazeera reported that Carroll called on her family, her colleagues and Americans throughout the world to ask that all Iraqi prisoners be freed. Carroll’s editor at the Christian Science Monitor said “Anyone with a heart will feel distressed that an innocent woman like Jill Carroll would be treated in the manner shown in the latest video.”
