Carroll Video

I've wanted to post on the new Jill Carroll video, but honestly haven't been sure what to say. I'm relieved that she is obviously still alive, but the fact she is still in captivity and either in a great deal of distress or being forced to come across that way for the video by her captors makes too much celebration premature. As noted before, I didn't get to know her that well, but it was definitely well enough that if anything happens to her, my mood will probably best be captured by the "No prisoners!" scene from Lawrence of Arabia.

UPDATE: As usual, Natasha Hynes has more links and commentary.
