Jill Carroll Doesn't Recognize Photo of Alleged Captor ("AQ leader" killed by US)

Jill Carroll Doesn't Recognize Jubouri Photo
US Military Said Killed Qaeda Operative Involved in Reporter's Kidnapping




Jill Carroll does not recognize the photo purportedly showing al Qaeda's "information minister" released this morning by US military officials.

According to Major General William Caldwell Thursday morning, the US military earlier this week killed Muharib Abdulatif al-Juburi, a man he said was involved in Christian Science Monitor reporter Jill Carroll's hostage ordeal, as well as the kidnapping of two German citizens in February and the kiling of Tom Fox, an American Christian peace activist.

"Based on multiple detainee briefings we know he was responsible for the transportation and movement of Jill Carroll from her various hiding places," said Caldwell.

However, Dan Murphy reports for the Christian Science Monitor:

General Caldwell's description of the role of the dead man – particularly that "we know he is responsible for propaganda and ransom videos for Jill Carroll" – would imply that Jubouri was Jill's chief captor, a man known to her as "Abu Nour" and as "Abdullah Rashid."

...

But Carroll was held by a number of men, and the photo of Jubouri doesn't appear to be either Abu Rasha or Abu Nour. She says the photo might be of a kidnapper whom she had taken to be a low-status guard, but couldn't be sure.

1. "a low-status guard." I think that Bush's military
(and let's face it, they act as if they belong to him) just got busted! Bush's Army catches some driver, kills him, and says, "This is the number two (or three, they like to mix it up) leader of al-Qaeda!" - or a low-level guard, whichever ...

4. These guys are just too much.
And they actually think that anyone in their right minds will believe anything that they say. Bush's military has zero credibility, Bush's government has zero credibility, and Bush's country has zero credibility - hey he's hit the trifecta!

3. That's because Carroll planned her own kidnapping
And was aiding her so-called captors. Didn't you read all of those threads about her when she was released???

:sarcasm:
