I had no idea about it, until reading your post about Aafia's conviction on Seattle PostGlobe. There are obviously a lot of unanswered questions here. One that I have is how this woman could have been tried in an American court for a crime (assuming she actually did it) that apparently occurred in either Pakistan or Afghanistan.

It's just too depressing. Just plain old random murders and car crashes are so reassuring. They allow us to sympathize and maybe worry a little about our kids. We can take steps, like locking doors and not trusting strangers, or buying a car with safety features and feel like we're doing something about it. That's a nice compliment to the morning coffee. This stuff ruins my appetite. This is why serious news is dying. It’s just too depressing. Just plain old random murders and car crashes are so reassuring.
