Jill Carroll Released!!!

The AP's Marriam Fam is reporting that CSM reporter Jill Carroll has just been released. Carroll says that she wasn't mistreated.
American reporter Jill Carroll was set free Thursday, nearly three months after she was kidnapped in an ambush that killed her translator. She said she had been treated well. Carroll, 28, was dropped off near the Iraqi Islamic Party offices. She walked inside, and people there called American officials, Iraqi police said. "I was treated well, but I don't know why I was kidnapped," Carroll said in a brief interview on Baghdad television.
Thus ends a dramatic ordeal. Thankfully, it ended right.
"I'm just happy to be free. I want to be with my family," she was heard to say under the Arabic voiceover. Carroll said she was kept in a furnished room with a window and a shower, but she did not know where she was. "I felt I was not free. It was difficult because I didn't know what would happen to me," she said. She said she was allowed to watch TV once and read a newspaper once. Asked about the circumstances of her release, she said, "They just came to me and said we're going. They didn't tell me what was going on."
I doubt that that description is enough to point authorities to where she was held but it at least gives them something to work with.
