1. She was "Afraid?"
Sarah B ,   U.S.A. / Israel   (02.03.10)
Wait until she runs into Bubbette and Bigger Bubbette in Lewisberg Federal Penitentiary. LOL. Right about the time the Bubbettes rip her a new one, she's gonna revise her definition of "fear." Couldn't happen to a nicer terrorist skank, now could it?
2. She learned anti-Zionism at Brandeis!
Mike ,   Atlanta, USA   (02.04.10)
3. The irony is..
(02.04.10)
"This is a verdict coming from Israel, not America" How ironic. If she knew anything, she would probably ask to be tried in Israel. In Israel she would get a light sentence and be let out in a prisoner exchange. In the US she will likely get life and will never get out. Not that Israel has anything to do with her arrest or the charges. She shot at US soldiers. The other irony is that she worked at Brandeis, an American University that has >50% Jewish students and is largely supported by donations from Jews. Go figure.
4. The problem with Israeli capitulation
(02.04.10)
Israel has been negotiating and rewarding terrorists for decades. Thus, terrorists have gotten more bold and have attacked lots of other targets (for example, the US). If Israel had not been coerced into negotiating and rewarding terrorists then terrorism would never have been the international problem it is today.
5. Anyone still wondering why we hunt & off these types?
Cameron ,   USA   (02.04.10)
6. No righteousness or charity in this baked one

7. If you think she looks ugly now at 37 imagine what
meir elazar   (02.04.10)
she will look like when she gets out of prison in 30-40 years.
8. What nonsense about Israeli capitulation.
Rabbi Cohen ,   Jerusalem, Israel   (02.04.10)
Israel has never capitulated in its short history. I am surprised to read such a claim here at this paper. It is undeniable however that our settling land that does not belong to us has fueled great resentment boiling over into terrorism. We control the future or terrorism through our actions, and the international community expects that we do our part to stop encouraging it through our actions.
9.  Aafia Siddiqui
Mike Kerr ,   Memphis USA   (02.04.10)
If she had picked up the Assault rifle she would have had to chamber a round by pulling the charging handle of the M-4. It is not on the side as most assault rifles. You would have to have knowledge of the weapon to do that. Also in a controlled area a U.S. Soldier would not have a round in the chamber and the weapon would have to be on safe. If she had fired off a round she would have to have had knowledge of that weapon.
10. guilty and insane
mike ,   israel (formerly usa   (02.04.10)
hard to believe that people are this stupid, but i guess it gives them comfort somehow.
11. No Mike (#2)
Devasahayam ,   Washington DC   (02.04.10)
She was indoctrinated with anti-India and anti-Israel propaganda right from kindergarten--rather typical of her native Pakistan, where war-criminal-protector Z.A. Bhutto and his successor (through coup) unremorseful war-criminal dictator Zia used the theory of "Israel-India conspiracy" (still used in Pakistani curriculum) rather than their own stupidity (their actions of 1971 establish this to be fact) to explain how India crushingly defeated Pakistan in 1971 to liberate Bangladesh (from Pakistan). Pakistanis, once so indoctrinated, are irrecoverably in the absurd!
12. M-4 knowledge
Jim4Jews ,   Walnut, USA   (02.04.10)
One quick internet search will tell anyone how to operate an M-4, step by step, with pics. Your theory falls flat.
