As I saw Jill speaking on TV, and I have to say I didn't really believe it until I saw her on TV, the first thing she said was, 'I was treated well.' I think that's what she'll focus on.

Her journalism represents the best principles in the field.

In the best journalistic tradition, Jill covers Baghdad from the streets, and she's committed to telling the story in Iraq with honesty and compassion. In so doing, she gives voice to the Iraqi people.

Their story would not have been told had Jill not been there.
