"When Jill Carroll, 28, a Baghdad-based freelancer for the Christian Science Monitor was kidnapped on Saturday, the tightly knit community of reporters in the Iraqi capital knew of the abduction within hours. But in an almost unprecedented move, media organizations in Baghdad— Arabic and English alike—kept a lid on the news in hopes that a media blackout would give negotiators and rescuers time to win her release."

I was wondering why the story of Jill Caroll had not been brought up on volconvo earlier. Perhaps it was the hope of the borad that further silence would "would give negotiators and rescuers time to win her release."
