JustMe, what do we call this?

(JustMe :" 'Asadullah strives to make his point, switching to English lest there be any mistaking him. "I am lucky I went there, and now I miss it. Cuba was great," said the 14-year-old, knotting his brow in the effort to make sure he is understood.)

JustMe, doesn't Asadullah's words sound like those of Jill Carroll: "They treated me very well. They treated me very well, like a guest. I was given very good food, kept very safe, treated very, very well.."

So what do we call this? 'Stockholm syndrome' is the word, right?
