Freelance journalist Jill Carroll today appeared in a video taped by her abductors, aired on a Kuwaiti television network.
In the video, Carroll said the date was Feb. 2. "I am here. I am fine. Please just do whatever they want, give them whatever they want as quickly as possible," she said. She wore a veil and appeared composed, speaking in a strong voice.

Update: Jeff Tynes, a friend of Jill's, tells Boing Boing:
A third tape has been released of Jill, this time airing on Kuwaiti television's "Al Rai."
We've not seen the tape but apparently Jill appears to be okay and indicates the date is February 2nd, although she corrects herself, having said February 6th at first.
She also says "There is very short time; please do it fast" We aren't sure why it wasn't aired on Al-Jazeera this time but suspect it might be due to the editorial controls in place there.
Natasha Tynes ( Link) has more quotes and other information from Jill off the tape and will be updating as more information becomes available.
