xml out tag displays incorrect results

Hi, I am reading a RSS feed using JSTL and i am using <x:out select="description" /> tag to read the value associated with "description". The returned value is html image tag. Instead of processing the image tag, IE does shows the image html tag itself like below

<img src=http://xxx.com/index.aspx?isbn=9780268033729%3b0268033722+(pbk.+%3a+alk.+paper)%3b02680/SC.GIF>

<b><i>Title:</b></i> Character psychology and character education / edited by

<b><i>Imprint:</b></i> Notre Dame, Ind. : University of Notre Dame Press, c2005.

<b><i>ISBN:</b></i> (pbk. : alk. paper);02680

How should i get rid of this?
