The Jill Carroll Story

Jill Carroll, the reporter for the Christian Science Monitor, who spent 82 days as a hostage of Sunni insurgents in Iraq, is starting to tell her story. I've read part one of what is to be an eleven part series, and it was really interesting. On her first day in captivity, the same people who killed her interpreter, Alan Enwiya, fed her a dinner typically reserved for an honored guest and invited her to sit in their living room and watch TV. They asked her to pick what they watched and she flipped though the channels and found an episode of Oprah being broadcast by satellite from Dubai. Watching Oprah with your kidnappers? How surreal that must have been for her.
