Journalist Jill Carroll is Free

"After being held hostage for nearly three months, Jill Carroll is free."
--CS Monitor

This morning the Christian Science Monitor confirmed reports that freelance journalist Jill Carroll has been released by her captors in Iraq. Carroll has been the focus of an international campaign to secure her freedom from militants since her abduction on January 7.

According to the Monitor, "Responding to the news of Carroll's release, Monitor editor Richard Bergenheim said, "this is an exciting day, we couldn't be happier. We are so pleased she'll be back with her family. The prayers of people all over the world have been answered."
