Text of the page (random words):
ressed that the inquiry will be heard in public wherever possible adding that it could be televised and streamed live on the internet but some evidence will be taken in private for national security reasons and to ensure complete candour he said adding that although witnesses could not be compelled to give evidence he did not expect anyone to decline just as l cpl joe glenton delivers a letter to gordo a serving soldier who is refusing to return to afghanistan has delivered a letter to the prime minister urging him to bring our soldiers home l cpl joe glenton of the royal logistic corps delivered his letter to 10 downing street on thursday he said i know that the afghan people are very resilient i can t see us getting much further the soldier who lives in york faces a preliminary court martial on monday for refusing to go back to afghanistan in his letter he claims the war in afghanistan is being fought in the interests of us foreign policy fellow soldiers who have come to this blog from a link posted army rumour service are less than enthused may i suggest they read raising my voice by malalai joya review coming soon and reflect upon the misuse of soldier s professionalism and comradeship by ruling classes with a taste for imperialism to aid you in your revery john singer sargent at war you forge of your self a dull weapon information for members of the british armed forces posted in war on terror scam tags afghanistan iraq new labour us imperialism war 2 comments thugs child kidnappers charge gray lady of bagram 29 july 2009 rickb several former detainees at bagram air base in afghanistan have said they heard the screams of a woman who s been dubbed the gray lady of bagram ok quick recap are you ready aafia siddiqui is taken by us forces and disappeared for five years she then miraculously reappears in the us where she is being charged with trying to kill american interrogators in afghanistan so first this current report in complete with memory hole reuters a pakistani woman charged with trying to kill american interrogators in afghanistan is fit to stand trial a u s judge ruled on wednesday after months of examination of her mental state the u s government says aafia siddiqui 37 a u s trained neuroscientist had links to al qaeda the court finds that dr siddiqui is competent to stand trial by a preponderance of the evidence u s district judge richard berman in manhattan federal court said in a written order dr siddiqui has sufficient present ability to consult with her lawyers with a reasonable degree of rational understanding and she also has a rational as well as a factual understanding of the proceedings against her prosecutors say siddiqui grabbed a u s warrant officer s rifle in mid 2008 while she was detained for questioning in afghanistan and fired it at the interrogation team which included two fbi agents but no one was hit the warrant officer then shot and wounded her with his pistol siddiqui was transferred to the united states and charged with attempted murder and assault of u s soldiers she has pleaded not guilty no one has been able to verify her whereabouts for the five years before her arrest at a hearing this month siddiqui wearing a white hijab covering all but her eyes interrupted a doctor s testimony to say please take me seriously i am not psychotic judge berman found that siddiqui understands the nature of the charges and can assist counsel with her defense ok so from this you might think what an evil woman that is what the us authorities want you to think or maybe her five years in a ghost site made her mentally ill but you certainly won t be informed of the different story of the incident the complaint says that she got hold of an officer s m 4 rifle in an interrogation room and fired two shots which missed the officer used his pistol to fire back and hit her at least once in the torso according to the charges afghan police however said that u s soldiers demanded that local police hand over siddiqui but they refused according to a report from ghazni by the reuters news agency when the americans disarmed the afghan police at gunpoint siddiqui approached the americans complaining of mistreatment by the police according to this account the u s troops according to an unnamed afghan police officer thinking that she had explosives and would attack them as a suicide bomber shot her and took her reuters reported sounds a lot like when cops brutalise someone they then charge them with resisting arrest just in this context it s amplified by the war on terror to five years in secret prison then renditioned to the us to be charged with attempted murder is this a woman fearing torture including rape being shot by us forces then held for five years in secret before being charge with crimes not say the shooter and the people who held her for five years being charged this is state gangsterism while in us custody she is repeatedly sexually assaulted aafia remains in a us detention facility in new york in poor health subjected to degrading and humiliating strip searches and cavity searches whenever she receives a legal visit or appears in court she has subsequently refused to meet with counsel it has been reported that she may suffer from brain damage and that a part of her intestine may have been removed her lawyers say her symptoms are consistent with a sufferer of post traumatic stress disorder she might have also been distraught at the time of her arrest kidnapping because they also kidnapped her three children all 3 of her children were detained by a shadowy mix of isi us forces 2008 human rights network president intikhab alam suri had filed the petition in shc through iqbal aqeel advocate making a plea that aafia siddiqui along with her three children was abducted and they were being kept at separate unknown places and tortured while dr aafia siddiqui in sub conscious state was handed over to us although no evidence against her exists the petition further said she is a pakistani citizen her security was the government s responsibility and therefore the respondents federal interior and foreign ministries and the federation should be ordered to recover and bring back dr aafia siddiqui and her three children by fulfilling their constitutional responsibilities the fbi admitted they held ahmad since 2003 2008 the united states has confirmed that dr aafia siddiqui s 12 year old son has been in the custody of the federal bureau of investigation fbi since 2003 reported channel five michael g garcia the us attorney general of southern region in his letter addressed to dr aafia s sister dr fozia siddiqui has revealed that dr aafia s son was in the fbi s custody ahmed is now under the care of his aunt dr fauzia siddiqui sister of dr aafia siddiqui has refused to allow media to talk to ahmad siddiqui son of dr aafia siddiqui saying that he was yet in a state of shock while talking to private tv channel she expressed ahmad s profound happiness on return of ahmad siddiqui and said that aafia s son name was changed many times though ahmad had matured but he was mentally disturbed therefore ahmad cannot be allowed to talk to media she maintained in response to a question she said that ahmad siddiqui would be shifted from islamabad within two or three days and government was also assisting them in this connection she also thanked the government for making efforts for return of ahmad siddiqui and expressed her gratitude to media civil societies and people for projecting the issue hoping that dr aafia siddiqui would soon return to pakistan along with her two other children similarly in letter addressed to president asif ali zardari prime minister yousaf raza gillani
