Moonbase

Now that she’s in a position of safety, former hostage Jill Caroll has released a statement in an attempt to set the record straight about earlier remarks made under duress. An excerpt:

Things that I was forced to say while captive are now being taken by some as an accurate reflection of my personal views. They are not. The people who kidnapped me and murdered Allan Enwiya are criminals, at best. They robbed Allan of his life and devastated his family. They put me, my family and my friends-and all those around the world, who have prayed so fervently for my release-through a horrific experience. I was, and remain, deeply angry with the people who did this.

...fearing retribution from my captors, I did not speak freely. Out of fear I said I wasn’t threatened. In fact, I was threatened many times.
