Jill Carroll Coverage

Is it just me or is anyone else suprised at how dumb the broadcast journalist are sounding when they cover the Jill Carroll story? Yes, she did say some anti-war and some anti-American things when whe was held captive. The story should be that: People will say anything to stay alive. Instead, we hear the news reporters and reportettes wondering if, Carroll, in fact, had anti American thoughts during her captavity. If she did have those thoughts, maybe it would be a good idea to have here tell us about it. She, too, is a reporter. I'm sure that she would be able to tell the entire story in a :20 sound bite.

As we are on the topic of such matters, it continues to amaze me how some of the big time journalists broadcast (and write) about certain weaknesses in the American security against terrorists. Often, they go a step further, saying that a terrorist could easily do this or do that.... Hey! Did you ever think that the Terrorists may be listening?

The people who are actually in charge of keeping us safe are either laughing at the media or they are really pissed off. Thank God they are not talking!
