A new tape of Jill Carroll has been released, this time on Al Rai, a private Kuwaiti tv station, not Al-Jazeera. I wonder if the blank notebooks sent in support of Jill Carroll have reached Al-Jazeera yet. I would love to someday find out how many notebooks were sent, what the impact was.

In the tape, Jill says "I'm here. I'm fine. Please, just do whatever they want, give them whatever they want as quickly as possible. There is very short time; please do it fast." Those last words give me chills. I continue to send wishes of safety and support her way...
