Re: Dr Afridi for Dr Aafia
Not that I’m in favour of the exchange or anything but you are supposed to be the educated people who turn a blind eye to the abuse (confirmed by the Pentagon) that the woman was subjected to while in custody. She was detained naked with male prisoners, humiliated, raped repeatedly by several men at a time, tortured, forced to walk over the Quran, and whatnot.
How much of this did you hear about in the press that you’re so adamant to defend? What did the Obama administration and the very educated public had to say about the abuse? Absolutely nothing as far as I know. And then you wonder why the nut cases have a problem with the hypocrisy.
You sound like a typical foreigner who doesn’t know a thing about Pakistan and related issues other than what the media tells you. So you, my friend, have a lot of reading to do. Perhaps start off by reading up on the state-sponsored terrorism of your beloved countries, that might get you off the high horse.
