First, while she was captured, she gets on TV and says "Unless the Iraqi women are released from prison by such-n-such date, they're going to kill me." Then a couple of days after that date, she gets on TV and says "Unless the Iraqi women are released from prison by such-n-such date, they're going to kill me. And they're serious this time. So please meet with their demands." Then a couple of days after that date she gets on TV a third time and says, "Unless the Iraqi women are released from prison by such-n-such date, they're going to kill me - and they're really, really serious this time!!" And then a couple days after that date she just sort of shows up out of the blue.

And then during her initial interview she says she was un-harmed, un-threatened, treated nicely, and very comfortable. Yet on the three previous TV spots of her pleading for her life, crying, saying she was going to be killed, contradicts her post-kidnapping interview. So which is true? The 3 spots on TV where she states she's crying and being threatened with death or the post-kidnapping interview where she says everything was cool and she never felt threatened?
