The Female Face Of Al Qaeda?

Aafia Siddiqui

My Comment: There are hundreds .... if not thousands .... of Taliban and Al qaeda supporters and active participants in jail in Afghanistan and Pakistan. Why is this woman treated differently is a mystery to me. I am hopeful that her trial will illuminate this case.
