Don't Kill Jill
I didn't know Jill Carroll when she worked at the Journal. I hope that I will be able to meet her someday.
Returning from an interview with a Sunni leader, the 28-year-old foreign correspondent was ambushed. Ms. Carroll watched as her captors murdered her translator. Her driver escaped.
Today, Al-Jazeera aired a silent video showing Ms. Carroll speaking. Her kidnappers have threatened to kill her in 72 hours if Iraqi female prisoners are not released.
Her story is breath-bating and heart-breaking for me. She is about my age, worked at the WSJ when I did and represents many of the things I dreamed of being when I started in journalism: intrepid, diligent, and determined to uncover the real story and certain that its revelation will improve the world. See here for some of her stories and for a Ms. Carroll update.
Let's hope we can hear her first-person version of events soon.
