Ex-hostage says she was forced to praise insurgents in video

BOSTON, Massachusetts (CNN) -- After nearly three months in captivity in Iraq, journalist Jill Carroll returned Sunday to the United States and was reunited with her family.

"I finally feel like I am alive again. I feel so good," the 28-year-old reporter for the Christian Science Monitor said Sunday, according to an article published on the newspaper's Web site.

"To be able to step outside anytime, to feel the sun directly on your face -- to see the whole sky. These are luxuries that we just don't appreciate every day.

2. This is good news

I hope she is resting and relaxing before she steps out into the right-wing shitstorm. They are being absolutely hateful about her.
