Who is giving "aid and comfort" to the enemy?
As attested to here, it should come as no surprise that journalist Jill Carroll now says she wasn't being truthful in lauding her kidnappers's cause and praising them for their fairness. For only about the millionth time in the history of hostage-taking, a prisoner said things that pleased her captors, playing along with their demands in prayerful hopes of being released. It worked.
Even before this tape came out, a lot of pro-IraQuagmire halfwits were slandering her for being a terrorist sympathizer and worse, mainly because she was a reporter who attempted to write about things as they truly exist. Objective reporting, what a concept. But after the tape was released, the moonbats came out in droves. One good example is this tape from
Don Imus' show.
There are more, but the point is made well by the comments of Imus' staff producer and frequent guest. No, Imus himself doesn't say nasty things. But he's complicit in their airing. He helps them get on the air by agreeing to have these pieces of s--t as guests. I'm sure they'll be allowed on his show again. I don't watch Fox, but it's a good bet there's been similar things said about Jill Carroll. Same for LGF, FreeperVille, RedStaters, and on and on.
In a matter of one day, what was previously an outporing of sympathy for an American victim of the terror we're supposedly there to prevent spreading immediatley reversed course and became an onslaught of savage attacks against the woman. And guess what? Turns out they were attacking in ignorance. Carroll now disavows what she said, pointing out that she was a hostage! saying anything that would get her ass out of there. Who wouldn't do the same thing?
The cretins who hate Iraqis and Muslims with a passion were quick to jump to conclusions, claiming that Carroll was pro-terror, and made as vicious and nasty of slurs as a person can dream up. These idiots can't think deeply enough to figure out that what a prisoner says to a video camera shot by mean sumbitches holding them hostage isn't necessarily the truth?? And they wonder why the rest of us saw the rush to occupy Iraq as a fool's errand and horrible mistake being made by choice?
These dumbassess are consistently duped into thinking and doing exactly what the Jihadists want. How many times are they going to step right into the trap of playing to the wishes of Al Qaida, Iran, Muqtada al-Sadr, the PLO, etc.?
Who are the ones whose words give "aid and comfort" to the enemy? The answer to that has become obvious.
