Give Jill a Break


Dan Kennedy, among others, has been monitoring some of the early reaction to the release of Jill Carroll. (Scroll down.)

 My only thought is this (bold and all caps for emphasis):

SHAME ON ANYONE WHO STARTS JUMPING TO CONCLUSIONS -- FOR IDEOLOGICAL OR OTHER REASONS -- ABOUT A WOMAN WHO'S JUST SPENT 82 FREAKING DAYS IN CAPTIVITY.  YES, OUR 24/7 NEWS-AND-PUNDITRY UNIVERSE DEMANDS INSTANT ANALYSIS, BUT HOW ABOUT LETTING THE POOR WOMAN BREATHE FOR A COUPLE OF DAYS BEFORE WE ASSAULT HER WITH AMATEUR PSYCHOLOGY AND SELF-SERVING COMMENTARY? THERE'LL BE PLENTY OF TIME TO SORT OUT HER STORY.
