S.S. Update

Yeah, we knew something was up. According to Jill Carroll's colleague at the Christian Science Monitor, Dan Murphy, the video Jill made shortly before her release was coerced and part of the "price of freedom" for her.

"You'll pretty much say anything to stay alive because you expect people will understand these aren't your words," says Micah Garen, a journalist and author who was held captive by a Shiite militia in southern Iraq for 10 days in August 2004. "Words that are coerced are not worth dying over." [emphasis added]

Indeed. Looks like the ones who actually have the Stockholm Syndrome are the bloggers on the right who have been held captive (along with the rest of us) by the violent overthrow of democracy that started in Florida in 2000.

And no boys, infatuation with your mom while living in her basement doesn't count. That's called the "Oedipus Complex." You aren't being held captive, she wants you to lay off the Cheetos and leave the house.
