She was an American-educated scientist allegedly linked to Al Qaeda, and placed on an FBI "wanted" list in 2003, arrested in Pakistan in 2008, on charges of attempted murder and assault. The charges were from an incident in which when U.S. law enforcement officials showed up to question her after she was detained by authorities in Afghanistan. She grabbed an unsecured rifle and shot at the agents.
She was recently found guilty and that has caused outrage in Pakistan. BIG TIME.
The Pakistani press has played up stories of torture and rape at the hands of Americans which has enflamed anti-American sentiment which was pretty bad to begin with.
Pakistanis believe these horror stories and so does a world full of other muslims. The obama administration has not done anything whatsoever to try and defend the American position and this is a story that is seething over there and growing worse by the day. It threatens Zardari and the pro-American government which is weakened and growing weaker.
Even though disclosure of U.S. documents on the Siddiqui case might help to tamp down some of the damage this story is doing to U.S. standing in the region, the obama administration refuses to disclose anything about Siddiqi's detention or her trial. So the story continues to grow adding new embellishments by the day.
We sit here and do not realize the damage this administration is doing, and has already done, to our country overseas. And the administration seems not to care at all.
The more this story grows, the worse it is for us and for US citizens and interests all over the world.
Siddiqi has become a rallying cause for the Taliban and Al Qaeda.
The fact that Mehsud gave her as a reason for attacks on US soil cannot be taken lightly. Prepare for more...and worse.
Thank you Mesta Machine. I believe the same.
North Korea is likely the party responsible for sinking the Cheonan. Last night the Russians essentially claimed the North Koreans used a mini sub to destroy the oil platform in the Gulf as a strike at the South Koreans and a bid to embarrass Obama.
This Islamic Jihad's tentacles of course weaves all thru each state now...none are exempt...we no longer hear the word “cells” any more, and that these people simply live, eat and flourish here until they are “called out” to do the deed.
That's why for me every muslim is suspect..period..and until the muslim community condemns these actions, stands in the streets, where they march, against them, and pretty much reform their “religion” of peace only thru Islam....then they are indeed profiled by me. I no longer will be tolerant of those killing or attempting to kill our citizens on our own land...and call themselves “moderate Islam”...nope not going to be suckered into that. As long as they remain silent they are enabling these attempts as if supplying the very bomb making materials themselves.

Muzzy jihadist terrorists don’t need any reason to attack us...you are right, we’re in for much, much more!
Be Ever Vigilant!
