<description>A picture is worth more than a thousand words!

Her recent snapshot shows a frail, tired woman whose gone through a lot of suffering. Check out her earlier photographs depicting a healthy person. Please lets refrain from what her believes were of whom she was married to or what the hell was she doing in Afghanistan.

Secondly, where in the hell are her children? 

Remember people, it has been repeatedly published that she divorced/separated from her first husband primarily because of her &quot;western views on education&quot;. 

So stop getting into depth on what Yvonne Riddley said or what Mr. Begg wrote in his book, just look at Dr. Aafia Siddiqui&#039;s picture above, doesn&#039;t it say something?</description>

<description>kelly:

it was not yvonne but britsih national moazzam begg {kidnapped from pakistan, survived gitmo via bagram) who wrote about her in &quot;the enemy combatant&quot; 

you are right about specualtions over her detainment and torture... she may well be backpacking all over the globe with her children rasing funds for cancer research these past five years

<description>You don&#039;t know that she was detained and tortured for five years.  That is based on what Yvonne Ridley claims, but she does not have a shred of evidence. Neither do Siddiqui&#039;s family members.  If they didn&#039;t know where she was and couldn&#039;t contact her, how do they know she was detained and tortured? Again, no one can provide even the smallest piece of evidence.  The US criminal charges seem far-fetched, but so do Ridley&#039;s claims.  Why are they being blindly accepted as truth?  Like consipracy theories much? </description>

<description>&lt;i&gt;But is her voice being suppressed?&lt;/i&gt;

we will find out soon now that the US has admitted that she is under their jurisdiction

earlier, when she went missing, (kidnapped with her three children) away from public scrutiny was another way of silencing her and denying her her legal rights (innocent until proven guilty)

the role of pakistani, afghan and us agencies also needs to be examined in this case</description>

<description>The FBI are running scared because it is obvious they have held and tortured this woman in Afghanistan for years. The truth will come out eventually but in the land of the free anyone who tells the truth is silenced.
 America&#039;s freedoms and democracy do not exist. it is a police state run by some incredibly dumb folk!
 I just wish they would wake up to the fact that the rest of the world is not as stupid as the guy in the White House or the morons in the FBI.</description>

<description>But is her voice being suppressed? For instance, would the US seek to CENSOR her or SUPPRESS HER STATEMENTS on flimsy grounds? If those who are expressing support for her ARE THEMSELVES GUILTY OF CENSORSHIP AND SUPPRESSION OF VIEWPOINTS, then wouldn&#039;t that undermine their own credibility?

As I&#039;ve said before, don&#039;t protest the fur trade while you yourself wear fur. Don&#039;t protest animal slaughter if you&#039;re a meat eater. Don&#039;t protest the suppression of someone else&#039;s freedom of expression, if you yourself are suppressing freedom of expression.

Don&#039;t be an extremist masquerading in the sheepskin of a &quot;smiling moderate&quot;.

Aafia Siddiqui would be allowed to have her say in front of a New York judge. There would be no way of SUPPRESSING or CENSORING her statements, which would (and should) stay on record. And this is because the US Federal Justice system follows its proscribed procedures, and doesn&#039;t flout them, like some people do (aforementioned &quot;smiling moderates&quot;).

I would hope that these truths would be obvious enough to be respected by so-called &quot;smiling moderates&quot;.
Or should such comments be made to DISAPPEAR WITHOUT A TRACE, like Aafia Siddiqui?

Meanwhile, in the likely event that ISI were the ones who nabbed Siddiqui, it would be further grounds to bring that rogue organization under civilian oversight, so that it cannot continue its terrorizing activities, which are well known on both sides of the border.</description>
