Despite Risks, Freed Reporter Loved Iraq

One warm night last fall, Jill Carroll was sitting
at a patio table in Baghdad with a group of friends,
ticking off the many dangers journalists face in Iraq.
Kidnapping was high on the list, along with car bombs
and random shootings.

But Ms. Carroll, a 28-year-old freelance reporter
who had lost one of her best friends in a suicide bombing
a few months earlier, said she could not imagine leaving.

"I've never been as happy as I am here," she said.
"It sounds strange and kind of morbid to say it,
but I really love this place."

In the end, her captors freed her for no clear reason,
dropping her off on Thursday on a street not far from
where she was taken.

A law enforcement official said the American hostage
working group in Baghdad assisted with Ms. Carroll's
case but would not give specifics of what it did for fear
of jeopardizing future hostage cases.
