Targetting Jill Carroll

Slate rounds up the right wing blog response to the safe release of journalist Jill Carroll in Iraq:

Jazz4Sale smells a conspiracy. "I don't buy it. Everything about this makes me feel this is a PR campaign to make the same people that beheaded all those other hostages look like good, compassionate people," Jazz posits. Matt on Wizbang is thinking along the same lines. "Super, now we can look forward to her articles telling us how nice and misunderstood the insurgents are," he says.

"I have no doubt that … the media and far-left will be comparing Carroll's royal treatment to the treatment of Iraqis at Abu Ghraib," speculates conservative Iowan Ryan on MySpace. Meanwhile, Heidi on EuphoricReality seems to have little sympathy for Carroll. "My question is this: will she keep her hajib now that she's free? Will she convert? I just can't wait for the movie, y'all!" she deadpans. On a lighter note, the Codependent Collegian wonders if Carroll is free for a date.
