Recently Released Reporter Affected by Stockholm Syndrome??? Or is this all a Big Taradiddle??



After reading a few news releases about Jill Carol, the reporter for Christian Science Monitor, that had been held hostage by Iraqi insurgents for the last eighty some days, most people have come to the conclusion that she is suffering from an often cited side effect of being kidnapped....called "Stockholm Syndrome".

What is Stockholm Syndrome?
According to Wikopedia entry that I am referencing:
Stockholm syndrome is a psychological response sometimes seen in a hostage, in which the hostage exhibits seeming loyalty to the hostage-taker, in spite of the danger (or at least risk) the hostage has been put in. Stockholm syndrome is also sometimes discussed in reference to other situations with similar tensions, such as battered woman syndrome, child abuse cases, and bride kidnapping.

More info on this often seen result of being taken hostage:

I want to add to this breaking story by suggesting that just MAYBE there is the possibliltiy that Miss Carol discovered things while she was being held hostage that make more sense in the whole scheme of things that we aren't being told through our U.S. Government "sponsored" media outlets....that possibly the insurgents in Iraq ARE indeed fighting for a "Noble Cause" in trying to build their government and recreate their own "sovereign State" the way in which they feel they need to.

I am a firm believer that we are not doing the right things over there in Iraq and that if we just left the region to their own ways of trying to stabilize things, that a decent Mideastern government will come out of all the chaos that is currently being had in that area of the world.
The story on Miss Carol's release as CNN is reporting it:
CNN.com - Carroll 'happy' to be in Germany - Apr 1, 2006

Ok, so then later today, she talks again and now she is calling her captors evil people who "coerced" her into saying all the good things she did about them.

I figured this was going to play out just as it is being played out in the news right now.
I still think that "Miss Carol" got it straight the first time around and I feel that though she has went through a very trying ordeal while being held hostage (if indeed she was actually being held hostage-more on this in a second) that this whole experience was "scripted" from the get go. A sort of "reverse propaganda" to begin with and I feel that maybe she doesn't even know how deeply she was involved in the inner workings of what lengths some people (our government) will go to to try and deceive the world population as to what is really happening over in the Middle East and in Iraq in particular....

Some day the truth will hopefully come out as to the real reasons behind all of what is going on.....and when it finally does, everyone will realize how much we have been "snookered" by the powers that be.

I heard a phrase the other day...
taradiddle: which means a fib, or a falsity.
I think that one day (hopefully soon) that all the reasoning for why we are over in Iraq and in the Middle East will be found to be a gigantic TARADIDDLE of the most major magnitude!
