If this has been posted before, my apologies. I didn't find it in a search. "Peace activist" indeed. This woman is pure whack job. But then, they are one in the same, are they not?

I wonder if her mental state may have been compounded by brain washing that took place at the hands of her pakistani friend. She was probably unstable to begin with and the resulting efforts to program her resulted in further instability. I kind of feel that she was involved in at least planning an episode of terrorism, serving the role of useful idiot. Just speculation, but as sound a theory as anything else we can assume based upon the half-truths we have to work with.

Well.....she has been in Pakistan for some time. Given her past writings, I wouldn't exactly consider her U.S./Brit friendly.

One of two male passengers - either a U.S. air marshal and a correction officer - whose help was solicited by the flight crew “had become concerned that she might be acting as a diversion for a possible terrorist action,” according to the affidavit.

And rightly so! Good for them. No matter how sane or insane the TSA screening process becomes, the last line of defense is sitting in the passenger cabin. The Lesson of Flight 93 continues, God Bless their souls.

Unfortunately, the captain of the plane did not make the same assessment and unlocked the cockpit door, entering the cabin to see what all the ruckus was about. Stupid move! Imagine the two unprofiled "gentlemen" sitting in seats 1B and 1C rushing the door at that crucial moment. Shut up and fly, pilot and copilot. Let your cabin crew make the decisions while you get the plane on the ground. You were lucky this time. Learn from the mistake.

forced a Washington, D.C.-bound plan to make a dramatic landing in Boston yesterday was thought to be a diversion for a “possible terrorist attack,”

It is amazing how the media portrayed this incident. Poor claustrophobic woman having an attack.

Liars telling lies about liars I guess.

is she gonna be givin therapy or jail or nuthin for this event?

[RedRover]

A short trip to Democratic Underground or Daily Kos will confirm that there are plenty of people who would gladly aid a terrorist plot. Remember Lynn Stewart.

Did the captain's actions violate United's protocols? Will he/she face disciplinary action?

It is TOO common and way too easy to label these people as mentally disturbed. I am way more cynical.

Hitler was mentally disturbed, ok, but that was a teeny part of the problem with Hitler. This woman lived in Pakistan and had dedicated her life to: 'peace,' bringing down the American government, doing her part to bring jihad to America, what? The jury is still out. We do not yet know what her plan was.

To dismiss her as 'crazy' is to give her an out she does not deserve. Same as it was for the MUSLIM guy in Seattle last week. "Crazy" is an insignificant part of what was going on with him. Give these people meds, they will still have their agendas.

I refuse to use this term with any person with ties to the Middle East.

[FreedomNeocon]

All pumpfakes... + Brit plane plot + Iran and their military tests they started today all to setup for their Aug 22nd (planned for 2 months) announcement of their plans about nukes.

[twntaipan]

If you read the deliberate nature of this lady's actions throughout the flight, there is no way this is simply a matter of a deranged passenger. She was intentional in antagonizing the flight crew with notes and comments.

There was an active plot on that flight or she was part of a dry run for some future effort.

[Dustbunny]

She probably was and this was just a dry run to see how well it would work.

[mkjessup]

The only reason the captain and/or co-pilot should have come out of the cockpit was to put the barrel of a gun to that b!tch's head and pulled the trigger.

A threat to the safe operation of an aircraft with terroristic comments and threats deserves nothing less.

[Bean Counter]

The more I hear about this wack-a-doo, the more convinced I am that she's somoeone's Useful Infidel. Rush touched on some of the early information about her yesterday, and it just keeps getting more bizarre with time.

Thank God the Air Marshall was sharp!

" As a columnist for the Daily Times of Pakistan, Mrs. Mayo criticized President Bush -- calling him "a president not elected by the people"-- and the war in Iraq. "The folksongs of the 1960s will never be written again because of President George Bush. He has hampered the liberties of my country in the name of September 11. Songs now can only talk of patriotism they cannot mention peace," she wrote. "

And people wonder why conservatives have a problem with media people.
