#8  Ms. Siddiqui got off easy. She should have been shot on the spot the moment she pointed the weapon at our soldiers, our countrymen.

Hyperbolic patriotism, probably, but if our people are getting shot at, I want our side to win.

#7  It is probably not practical to be self-critical in a blog designed to express hyperbolic patriotism. Nevertheless any group of people even remotely respectful of “well reasoned discourse” is bound to have a good number of members with enough sense of decency to find the saga of Dr. Siddiqui too horrible and too soul shaking to become a contributor in the torture and injustice dished out to her, by ignoring the many facts that belie the prosecutorial charges. Least among them being the fact that she was never charged with terrorism despite having been in U.S. custody and under interrogation for many years.

The fact that she was under nourished and weighed less than 100 lbs at the time of her alleged (now convicted) crime gives many a pause to think. The fact that she left home (allegedly for terrorism) in 2003 with three children including an EIGHTEEN MONTHS OLD make the story against her sound downright ridiculous.

How do I know what I have written here will not be lost to the readers of this blog? I see that only four people have harshly commented on her whereas 21 4 have read this article so far. I thank the fans of Rantburg for their decency and to those who may not be fully informed of this matter I suggest the following link:

#1  "After she was sentenced Thursday, Ms. Siddiqui turned to the audience and urged the public to forgive the persons involved in her case and not to take any actions of revenge."

Coded message to her jihadi buddies: Kill them all.
