Jill Carroll Story Is Out

We were appalled at the treatment from rightie wingnuts on Jill's abduction and blogged about it in April here.

Glad to see she's well and out there telling her story:

US troops come very close to where Jill is held captive

When Jill Carroll was nearly 4 years old, her family held a picnic at Kensington Park, a beach-and-lake recreation area outside Detroit. At one point, her mother, Mary Beth Carroll, realized that Jill had disappeared.

Mary Beth turned around and saw a strange man walking away, his arms extended as if he were a fork lift. His cargo was Jill, who was lying on her back, screaming and punching.

When Mary Beth caught up to him, the man said he thought the little girl was lost. Only later, after the shock had worn off, did she realize he might have been trying to abduct her daughter.At least she fought, her mother thought. (More of Part 2)
