Jill Carroll Execution Deadline Passes
The deadline set by terrorists in which they claimed they would murder American reporter Jill Carroll if all female prisoners in Iraq were not released has passed. No word on the fate of Jill Carroll.

We pray Jill Carroll is released unharmed.
The good news is that that several similar deadlines have already passed, so hopefully the SOBs holding Jill Carroll are just making idle threats.
"The Ministry of Interior said that she is alive and that they have information with regard to where she might be held," Khalilzad said in an interview with Fox News."The minister announced today that he is optimistic about her release," he said.
The U.S. ambassador did not say how the Interior Ministry knew about Carroll's well-being.
An apparent deadline set by kidnappers holding Carroll in Iraq passed Sunday with no word.

Iraqi interior minister Bayan Jabur al Zubaidi fleshed out this story in an interview with ABC news and made some startling assertions. Check it out at http://abcnews.go.com/GMA/story?id=1666314&page=1.
Zubaidi stated he felt Ms. Carroll was still alive and would be released, but that HE KNEW WHO THE KIDNAPPER WAS AND EVEN KNEW HIS ADDRESS! If this is true, how long has he known, and WHY IS HE BROADCASTING THIS INFORMATION TO THE KIDNAPPERS AS THOUGH WARNING THEM? Incidently, didn't the Kuwaiti TV station which recieved the third video also seem to know where she was?
Zubaidi also countered his optimism by stating that no one knew exactly where Ms. Carroll is being held and that she may have been SOLD TO A MORE EXTREME GROUP! He also stated that she is still in "extreme danger."
If this is true, what would be the motive of such a group for buying her? The profit motive of a re-ransom is lessened. This is beginning to sound like something much more insidious.
Too many twists in this plot, too much intrique. She has been reduced to little more than a political pawn if not something worse.

"Mail-order bride," perhaps?
