Whose That Boy Being Tortured?

Type "Siddiqui" into my blog search and see what horror show comes up.

"Siddiqui's son may be in US custody

NEW YORK - The 11-year-old son of a Pakistani woman accused of trying to shoot a US Army captain is believed to be in custody, US authorities confirmed yesterday. US Attorney Michael Garcia notified a defense lawyer for Aafia Siddiqui in a letter dated Friday that the boy, believed to be US citizen Ahmed Siddiqui, was taken into custody in mid-July when authorities arrested his mother. Garcia said authorities can't say for sure because the boy asserted that his parents were killed in an October 2005 earthquake in Pakistan and that he had been traveling with Siddiqui since then. A preliminary DNA analysis demonstrated that the boy was Siddiqui's son but further tests were underway to ensure the finding was correct (AP)."

This kind of crap makes me ashamed to be American.
