Jill Carroll, held hostage for 82 days in Iraq, returned to the US today aboard a commercial flight to Boston. In a video before she was freed and posted by her captors on an Islamist Website, she spoke out against the US presence.

On Saturday, she said the video was made under duress. “My captors forced me to participate in that video. They told me I would be released if I cooperated,” she said.
