Hate to say I told you so


Ms. Carroll in a horrible jacket

Ha! I knew it... although you didn't need to be a brain surgeon to have figured it out. Carroll was being coached and forced to make the statements she made in the videos we've all seen over the weekend, as I sarcastically said in yesterday's post:

"Well, she certainly wasn't being coached..."
Now I expect an apology from all those people who got pissed at me for saying it. Come on, all I want is an acknowledgement of your mistake, not to get on your knees and kiss my feet begging for mercy in the presence on my glorious insight and keen intellect. A kind email or comment will be enough.

Look at some of her statements from today:

"During my last night in captivity, my captors forced me to participate in a propaganda video. They told me I would be released if I cooperated. I was living in a threatening environment, under their control, and wanted to go home alive. So I agreed,"
Yeah, I guess that kills the fantasy of all those who wanted to think that everyone fighting in Iraq are noble warriors of peace simply defending themselves from an evil occupation. Truth is, they're bloody, vicious soldiers who will kill at the tip of a hat and would carry out any sort of merciless violence upon anyone they perceived as a threat. This is WAR if you haven't forgotten.

Things that I was Forced to say while captive are now being taken by some as an accurate reflection of my personal views. They are not.

At any rate, fearing retribution from my captors, I did not speak freely. Out of fear, I said I wasn't Threatened. In fact, I was threatened many times. Also, at least two false statements about me have been widely aired: One - that I refused to travel and cooperate with the U.S. military, and two - that I refused to discuss my captivity with U.S. officials. Again, neither statement is true."
Yep. So, there you go. She was being forced to say those things under threat of death, just like I had said.

Now this brings up the issue of the pro-War, Neo-Con blogs who had oh so kind words like:

"I wish they had just killed you."


or


"She should be arrested and charged with treason if and when she returns to the US."
What a group of fucking tools. Because she didn't say exactly what they wanted her to say at the moment she was released, she, in their estimation, was guilty of treason and deserving of death.

If anything, THESE people should be put to death for exchanging their freedom for a false sense of security and placing all their trust in a witless, shit of a man.

Supporting fascists is the same as being a fascist. No one has any sympathy for the followers of Hitler or Mussolini, so, do you honestly believe history will have any on you?

Anyways, once she is well adjusted and comfortable, she should write a book about her ordeal. She's writes for a living, so it shouldn't be that big of a stretch for her, plus she could get a huge advance from interested publishers which will make her recuperation oh the so much better.

But I think it will be odd to see her on the talk show circuit speaking about everything that happened to her with John Stewart, Matt Lauer and Bill Maher 8 months from now.

But, I'll probably be reading it...
