Salute to this US citizen who restores our faith in the basic goodness of the American people and all peoples. Pakistanis never doubted for once this fact, despite the propaganda that some in Washington indulge in, scaring the Americans about Pakistan and its people, spreading anti-Pakistanism inside the US and worldwide. Elements within the US government and the mainstream US media continue to demonize Pakistan and spread alarm about Pakistanis. US continues to jail innocent Pakistanis. So does Britain, followed suit by their new slave-soldier in Asia, superpower-wannabe India, where some 800 Pakistanis rot in jail without trial and with a proven track record of extreme torture.
This video from a US citizen is also a message to the handful of pro-US defeatists sitting in the Pakistani government, who speak Washington's language, and to the few journalists in some cornders of the Pakistani media who are in the 'Good Guys' list prepared by the US Embassy in Islamabad. 'Good Guys' of course being anyone who agrees to peddle US propaganda in order to please US Ambassador Anne W. Patterson.
Dr. Siddiqui is not perfect, we know. She held extreme views and did seek to mingle with men wanted by law. But she symbolizes now the humiliating treatment meted out to Pakistanis - by their own government and by allied governments in the US and the UK - during the course of the past eight years. Terrorism or not, Pakistanis won't take now even the impression of humiliation.
Here is a message to all of you: We, the Pakistani people, will hold the Government of the United States responsible if Dr. Aafia Siddiqui dies in your custody. Justice will be done. We, the ordinary Pakistanis, will bring a government to power in Islamabad that will ensure this. You just watch.
Why bother with these subhumans ?
