I just dont understand why these people are there. I hope they know if you get captured you are as good as dead. I dont want troops to put themselves in danger to save the likes of her. it may be cold to say it but its the truth

"Carroll has not been heard from since she was grabbed Jan. 7 in one of Baghdad's most dangerous neighborhoods"

do they ever get any ransom for these hostages? whats the point of making such outrageous demands?

they know the US will NOT deal with terrorists so when they slice thier heads off it is supposed to make us look bad.
I know if I were to put myself in that position that I would never see my family again and I would not blame the US Id blame myself

So if soldiers die, its their fault for joining the millitary and for being there.

still, she went to help. whether she was forced or not, she went to help where help was needed. maybe that says more for someone who doesnt have to go but decides to go anyways.

how did she try to help? She is where she shouldnt be. Id bet the military would have not allowed her to that neighborhood if they knew of her intentions. The paper she works for is suspect to me too. I dont like people going from country to country pushing thier religous beliefs onto others. I know it didnt say she was a missionary but Id be willing to bet

reporting in Iraq isnt the safest place to work, multiple journalists killed, kidnapped and what not, she would of known slight risks to going to Iraq, but as TGB said i hope she might not be killed, as remember the situation with the Italian female journalist that was let go.

There has been more journalists killed in Iraq than the entire duration of the Vietnam War.

Hopefully she comes home safe.

Makes sense with the massively increased media coverage nowadays and the insurgents disregard for westerners lives...

I see a disregard for innocent lives by the soliders of the west as well.

of course you do, westerners are evil, right?

that tv station is up to no good. not fox but al-jazera ... or whatever is called.
