Support for Jill Carroll

It has been five weeks since freelancer journalist Jill Carroll was abducted in Baghdad. Take a moment to read some of her fine writing about the Iraqi people.

Her abduction raises many questions about the risks an independent journalist faces when working in a hostile environment.

• Did she have security?
• Who paid for that security?
• What obligation does a news organization have to pay for a contractor?

Please share your experiences working as an indepedent in a hostile environment.
