Bloggers Join Campaign to Free Jill Carroll


The Christian Science Monitor, the publication for which Jill Carroll freelances in Iraq, has begun a campaign designed to help win the kidnapped journalist's freedom from her captors.

A centerpiece of the campaign is a video being shown on Iraqi television. It asks for the Iraqi people's help in locating this courageous and independent-minded journalist.

The Committee to Protect Bloggers has asked all bloggers to post links to the video in the hope that Iraqis, many of whom pay close attention to what's going on in the blogs, to post a link to the video. Here's the link: Jill Caroll Video.

I would be remiss if I didn't indicate the most important thing you can do to secure Jill Carroll's freedom: Pray for her. Pray for her well-being. Pray that those searching for her will be successful. Pray that those holding her captive will have a change of heart and will. Pray for her safety and release.
