Just saw a Fox News alert (but no stories posted on the internet yet), that kidnapped journalist Jill Carroll has finally been released... This comes just a day after her sister went on Arab TV station Al Arabiya to plead for her release.

UPDATE

The Washington Post is on it now:

American journalist Jill Carroll, who had been held hostage by insurgents in Iraq, was freed Thursday in Baghdad after nearly three months in captivity.

Carroll, 28, was turned over to an Iraqi political party and seen by Washington Post reporters.

UPDATE

By now I'm sure you've heard that Carroll says that her captures treated her well (AP), and by all accounts she seems okay.

Who knows what really happened, but it's a weird contrast if nothing else.
