Karin Friedemann on the Aafia Case

Karin Friedemann has posted the following very interesting comment on Don't Blame the Victim report at TeethMaestro Blog:

In a conversation with Lord Ahmed, he told me that according to Aafia’s former lawyer, the Federal government was imposing its will on the judge and forcing the judge not to allow Aafia to get medical treatment or released on bail.

Aafia’s uncle and husband are currently on trial at Guantanamo. Clearly innocent, they are requesting martyrdom after years of torture. Not realizing that Osama bin Laden is NOT wanted for 9/11, the detainees have confessed to all kinds of things including crimes they could not possibly have committed since they were in Guantanamo at the time.

The US is covering up the true story of 9/11 and therefore they need to place the blame on Aafia’s uncle, Khalid “the Matermind” as they claim. That is the reason she is a security risk. She could expose the government’s lies and high crimes. These days, the US justifies detaining as a “security risk” anyone, including journalists, who possesses information or evidence about US military and detainee abuses.

How confused!

For example, KSM (on trial at Guantanamo) is not her uncle, but her husband's uncle.

Then it goes down from there.

It is a blatant attempt to confuse the true story of this poor woman.
How can they claim that she was married to someone. The fact is she is indicted on apparently frivolous charges, she is incarcerated, separated by her children & family, unable to defend herself.
I don't know how people are drawing conclusion about her second marriage.
BTW, even if she was married to KSM's nephew. Nothing changes. She is not charged for marrying an alleged criminal.
