For those with a battle of the sexes sense of humor:
In the summer of 2008, a shopkeeper in the Afghan city of Ghazni noticed a strange sight: a woman in a burqa drawing a map. In a region where nearly all females are illiterate, he found it suspicious and called the police, according to an Afghan intelligence official.
(Insert joke about women reading 'n learnin stuff just causing problems here.)
The majority of the article goes on to explain what a great case she's going to have in a civilian court. Look for this one to last 10 years over the course of its appeal lifetime.
Siddiqui’s family, including her sister, Fowzia, a Harvard-trained epilepsy specialist, publicly accused the United States of secretly detaining and torturing Siddqui at the US military base in Bagram.
She offered little evidence of that claim, except a report that a former prisoner had seen her there. The charges have sparked deep outrage in Pakistan, where Siddiqui is widely viewed as a victim.
She went to MIT and her sister went to Harvard. It's like we're just forcing them to become terrorists.
