erm..why not?
EDIT: you were being sarcastic right?

Let's just say this was a wonderfully staged event. She went from crying and begging for her life and now saying that the kidnapers were as gentle as new born lambs. This is total and complete BS. This is a setup and the media is falling all over itself reporting this scam. Congrats to the "freedom fighter" on this great PR move that the media is more than happy to assist in this propoganda.
hmm, maybe your being a bit cynical (although i admit it could well be a set up)
i;d certainly rather have freedom fighters trying to gain good PR over killing people

I agree, but calling these people freedom fighters is about the same as calling the Sudan an African paradise.hmm, maybe your being a bit cynical (although i admit it could well be a set up)

I think they can count as freedom fighters, they are fighting to free their country of foreign armies and to release their own friends who are in US/other's captivity, whether we agree they should have freedom is irrelevant, they caertainly belive they are freedom fighters....I agree, but calling these people freedom fighters is about the same as calling the Sudan an African paradise.
i think sudan could count as a tax haven
I think you make too many assumptions and draw conclusions to quickly here, Dave.
AFAIK her interpreter had been killed when she was kidnapped. Also, even if she hasn't been hit or tortured and generally been treated wee, she had certainly still enough reason to be afraid and fear for her life.

Just fishy that's all. But of course I come to conclusions and make too many assumptions compared to all the rational and well thought out opinions of others on this board right?I think you make too many assumptions and draw conclusions to quickly here, Dave.

Well ... you accuse her of staging the whole thing based on what? Only based on the fact that she first begged for her life and later said that she wasn't mistreated?Just fishy that's all.

Is it impossible to fear for your life when you are not physically mistreated?
What exactly is "fishy" here?
Are you suggesting that she has been involved in a "staged" kidnapping that resulted in the death of her interpreter?
"I was treated very well. That's important for people to know," she said in an interview with an Arabic-speaking questioner at the headquarters of the Iraqi Islamic Party. "They never hit me, they never even threatened to hit me. I'm just happy to be free, and I want to be with my family."
I am sure her 'scope' is now a lot broader.
