#1 At this point, I'm curious as to which prison they will send her. I have no idea about any supermax facilities for women in the US.

#2 "Small but vocal groups of demonstrators also chanted anti-American slogans and burnt US flags and effigies of US leaders in Islamabad and Lahore."

In other words, a average day in Pakistain.

#3 "Small but vocal groups of demonstrators also chanted anti-American slogans and burnt US flags and effigies of US leaders in Islamabad and Lahore."

I wonder if they were paid in dollars, or cents.

#5 Supermax prison cells are all individual, right? With individual exercise times? So why would there need to be separate male and female facilities, Anonymoose?

#6 TW - imagine the outrage if the genders aren't separated. It might bring mayhem to several countries. Can't wait.

#7 Ms Siddiqui has quite a history of involvement with Muslim radicals. As a student at MIT she was active in the Muslim Student Association (an offshoot of the Muslim Brotherhood), recruiting new members and proselytizing to unbelievers, and raised funds for a charity formed by one of Osama bin Laden's mentors. She forced her first husband to flee the U.S. with her and their children after 9/11, after which he divorced her for her extremist views and what he suspected to be an attachment to jihadi activities. Shortly thereafter she married a man closely related to Khalid Sheikh Mohammed and his nephew Ramzi Yousef. Her second husband is imprisoned in Guantanamo Bay. There are a great many questions of exactly what she was doing, and where, during the time she was off the grid.

The Pakistanis can seethe and lodge official protests until they are blue in the face. This woman is not an innocent picked up while wandering through the woods collecting bouquets of wildflowers.

#8 She got 86 years because we're bigoted vs muslims. If anything happens, it'll be our own fault. Police recommend that the US go ghost.

#9 Let the Paks seethe all they want. If they want to do anything more than seethe, they should be greeted with napalm and cluster weapons dropped from every available US aircraft in Diego Garcia and Afghanistan - for 24 hours straight. Maybe, just maybe, they'll get the idea it's not wise to screw the US. Unfortunately, our "leadership" isn't willing to SEND that message, so we continue to play PC games.
