I still say, and will insist on this until the day I die, that Tony wasn't really in love with Jeanne.
Tony DiNozzo would run from a demanding, manipulative woman like Jeanne (I mean come on, first she 911's him because she's getting kicked out her place and doesn't have time to find a new apartment; next she's sitting at a table, looking through ads for apartments that they can share). We were never shown any "good" qualities.
This was probably the longest relationship he had with a woman and he mistook "comfortable" for love. Another viewer sees it as Stockholm Syndrome.
Either way, he may "think" he loved her, but I don't think he really did.
I do agree that she was an innocent victim, though. And I believe Tony was also a victim of Jenny's obsession.

She didn't act on her own. A remark Tony made to Fornell in Aliyah seemed to indicate that he believed that "Toby" was behind her doing it. Something like "I love taking orders from a man who tried to frame me for murder." The Fibbies could have played dirty with her (threatening to pull her passport, medical license...) unless she did what she was told. Both the CIA and the FBI were after Jenny and they thought this was a way to get her to confess to the murder of Rene Benoit. I think what Tony meant when he was talking about taking orders from Fornell in Semper Fidelis was his first time he got framed for murder. It was Fornell and Sacks that took over the investigation when they found out that Tony was the suspect that "killed" the woman. I don't think the FBI had any reason to push Jeanne to her decision to accuse Tony of murdering her farther. |

I didn't go there in my thinking because Fornell merely investigated (along with S(l)acks). With the La Grenouille case he was in control in tracking down Jeanne and bringing her back to the US. Until a trial there was really no reason not to just take her statement in Africa and let her continue her humanitarian work. |
