AQ Hit-Woman Captured

She is a graduate of MIT and Brandeis. A neuroscientist. She was captured last month, and immediately became a knee-jerk elite liberal cause célèbre, in line with the clueless Clooney/Obama foreign policy. Maybe she was the victim of an abusive husband, but maybe not. "No one was willing to say even a single word about her." "In some ways we knew her kids better than we knew her, ...She'd leave them to play in the hallway a lot. " You be the judge. Now we learn she was captured with this. ABC, via HotAir:

When she was arrested in Afghanistan last month, Aafia Siddique allegedly had in her possession maps of New York, a list of potential targets that included the Statue of Liberty, Times Square, the subway system and the animal disease center on Plum Island, detailed chemical, biological and radiological weapon information that has been seen only in a handful of terrorist cases, as well as a thumb drive packed with emails, ABC News has learned.

That haul of information has led multiple government sources to describe Siddique, a 36 year-old MIT graduate, as a potential “treasure trove” of information on terrorist supporters, sympathizers or ’sleepers’ in the United States and overseas.

“She is the most significant capture in five years,” said former CIA officer John Kiriakou, who said she lives up to her reputation as an alleged terrorist ‘Mata Hari.’

How did she react when she was captured--she fought. Hard. (Shouting that she wanted to kill Americans.) Code Pink gets some serious competition.

Next liberal cause--those police-state pigs in Denver. What about this--oh, pay no attention, "no connection to terrorism":
DENVER – While the amount of sodium cyanide found in a Denver hotel room was enough to kill hundreds of people, the FBI says they do not believe there is any link to terrorism.

FBI spokeswoman Kathy Wright said the agency's Joint Terrorism Task Force is assisting in the investigation, but she said the incident has no apparent connection to terrorism.

The medical examiner's office said it is still awaiting test results to determine whether cyanide killed 29-year-old Saleman Abdirahman Dirie of Ottawa.

His body was found Monday at The Burnsley Hotel, about four blocks from the state Capitol. Investigators say he had been dead for several days.

Wow, that's a relief. He was maybe just another innocent neuroscientist or something, just minding his own business.

Maybe.

UPDATE: The cyanide guy's "summer vacation".
