hurriya

Jill Carroll was released by her captors this morning in Baghdad. She is safe and suffered no mistreatment during her captivity, and sounds amazingly calm, composed and self-possessed if this article is anything to go by. Thank God.

Al-hurriya is a definitive that is not needed. Hurriya is more accurate. Unless of course you are talking about a specific form of freedom, which isn't the case. Do you know Arabic?

Thanks, I've corrected it. No, I don't speak Arabic, except for a number of simple phrases and a lot of random vocabulary words (incl. hurriya, which I know because it is essentially the same in Turkish:
"hurriyet"). I'm hoping to start Arabic classes as soon as I have the disposable income to pay for them, though.
