“Why is there even a trial?” It was, of course, a rhetorical buy viagra soft amoxil question and probably the most poignant and telling cheap Ampicillin online buy Drugstore observation made during the opening proceedings against Dr Aafia Siddiqui in New Viagra generic York this week. It is a question where to buy nolvadex online I hope every US journalist and media group across the world keeps on buy cialis online usa asking every day as American tax dollars are squandered persecuting an innocent women for no other reason than someone is incapable of saying: “I made a mistake”.
I buy real viagra without prescription don’t know who this individual is, other than he is very senior in US intelligence and is directly responsible for ordering the kidnap, rendition, torture and abuse of Dr Aafia and the disappearance of her three children. In his drive to cover his own tracks Cialis pricing and frame Dr Aafia she ended up being shot several times by US guards in an Afghan police cell in the province of Ghazni. Initially, he may generic levaquin have done nothing more than sign a piece of paper which brought about her kidnap from Karachi way back in March 2003 – but by now he will know that the entire Muslim world is watching and waiting to see what happens when the trial gets underwa buy cialis fast shipping y for real on Tuesday, January 19.
Despite the judge’s futile attempts to keep switching and changing order amoxil pre-trial hearings, supporters of Dr Aafia still manage to fill the spectator gallery and overspill room. Judge Richard Berman will by now be buy cialis domain acutely aware he is handling one of the most sensitive cases ever brought before a court in the entire history of George W Bush’s ill-fated War on Terror. I know he has received hundreds of postcards from those who have attended Cageprisoners meetings buy cialis overseas demanding buy buy levitra vardenafil cialis online cheap he uses his influence to stop the primitive and brutal strip searches Dr Aafia Buy super ed trial pack online has been forced to endure every Buy Diflucan Online Pharmacy No Prescription Needed time she meets with her legal team and attends court.
Should she resist these searches, I can tell you having witnessed CCTV footage fo a woman prisoner doing the same, Dr Aafia will be held down by around four to five Buy Viagra online male weight loss acomplia prison warders while two female officers tear away at her clothes and then carry out full cavity searches. What I witnessed on CCTV footage is tantamount to order Cialis online buy generic cytotec rape and had I not seen it with my own eyes, levitra online I would have thought it was filmed in a third world country. Sadly this primitive practice and the pleas of hundreds, buy cheap propecia if not thousands of westerners viagra with no prescription to Judge Berman to have the practice viagera stop, have yet to take effect.
The trial is scheduled to begin on Tuesday, January 19 at 9am in the Federal cheap amoxil Court in Manhattan, New York where Online Viagra buy the frail Pakistani amoxicillin amoxil mother-of-three faces charges for an alleged crime which buy cialis ebay find tadalafil happened in Afghanistan in July 2008. The pre-trial natural viagra hearing on Monday was quite illuminating in itself after the prosecution:
ADMITTED Dr Aafia is not a member of al-Qaida.
REVEALED she has no links to any terrorist organization.
STATED there were no fingerprints on the gun she was supposed to have wrested sanofi acomplia order 424 buy viagra | where to buy cialis without prescription | order online levitra Buy cheap Cialis Online diflucan from one of the soldiers.
CONCEDED no bullets were recovered from the cell.
The defense complained that the prosecution had still not turned over the list of witnesses they intend to call so defense lawyers have no buy Ampicillin Without Prescription cheap online idea who those witnesses are. It had previously been agreed that the legal team representing Dr Aafia would get those names at least one levitra pharmacy canada week before the start Buy Viagra online of trial.
Dr Cialis amoxicillin amoxil Aafia’s Buy Antibiotics medications lawyers requested once again that she be spared the strip searches cheapest levitra drugs propecia and have cheap ampicillin buy a video link. The judge said he wanted now for her to have the right to confront her accuser so she must be forced to court. (It should be noted that the defense made the argument that if Aafia’s ability to face her accusers is so paramount, why is this not applied to the “evidence” when those who accuse her of having this evidence are not being brought to court and so she has no right to confront them? However she still must be strip searched and brought to trial against her will for the sake of this same right.
At levitra website the conclusion of the hearing, Buy Cialis buy cialis pharmacy Aafia made one appeal to the public saying that she was for peace and wanted to help. She said that she was not against America and many injustices are being done to her. Many people in the audience cried as the US Marshalls again forcibly removed her, physically pushing her at times. The defense lawyers pleaded with the US Marshalls and the MDC prison legal representative, Christa Colvin, to allow even a 5 minute meeting between Aafia and her brother but the US marshals refused. When her brother attempted to say a few words to her, the marshals turned Aafia’s head away so she could not respond.
So, this is justice US style. The Viagra online prescription case, outlined by the prosecution appears to be so buy levitra thin it is anorexic. It all rests on whether this tiny framed, frail woman wrestled an assault rile from the hands of a burly buy cialis cheap US soldier and fired off two rounds while she was in a dazed and confused state.
The fact that she was kidnapped from her home city in Pakistan at the behest of US intelligence, beaten, tortured and abused in Bagram for several years before being dumped outside the governor of Ghazni’s home five years later is not up for discussion.
The fact her three children, two of the US citizens, were also viagra Viagra Professional online kidnapped and two of them are still missing is, apparently not relevant either.
All Judge Berman wants to establish is: “Did Aafia wrestle the gun for a US soldier with canadian Buy Viagra, Buy Cialis, Buy Levitra Without Prescription Gold”>Kamagra Gold viagra online the intent to shoot him?”
And since there’s no forensic evidence tying Dr Aafia to the gun, there seems to be no case. No fingerprints, no bullets, no residue – NOTHING.<
The prosecution has even conceded there are no terror links which blows the New York tabloids’ headlines calling her the flagyl price ‘Al-Qaida Mom’.
As I said at the start of this article the rhetorical question asked by one observer was probably the most poignant one of the day: “Why is there even a trial.”
But here’s an even better question I challenge the US media to ask: “Who is responsible for putting this innocent women through six years of hell and where are her missing children?”
