Until They Bleed Tears
In Picture #7 of the photo campaign to free Jill Carroll, you see her wearing the traditional Arabic/Muslim Hijab, or the veil.
It only sheds more light onto the fact that this hostage needs to be freed. Her picture is a tool, that is being used wisely. It is a display of human emotion, happiness, shared between Christians and Muslims. Albeit, she is wearing a veil which is not part of her cultural tradition, but it is a part of her existence. She wore that veil better, in terms of how much hair it shows, than most women correspondents in Iraq would have.
Obviously, she has a great respect for Islam that does not reach the hearts of those people who captured her.
