Chuck: You viciously smeared a woman who’d been terrorized for 82 days because you thought she kinda sorta looked like she meant it when she criticized the U.S. mission in Iraq and said nice things about her captors.
I’m glad you’re happy. Now how about an apology?

I’m assuming that one of the main reasons Carroll is alive is because she’s a woman. While female hostages have been killed, it seems that many of the captors don’t want to kill women.
