Feds: Siddique wanted to poison Worst President Ever
2008-08-14
Long before Aafia Siddique was arrested in Afghanistan last month, allegedly in possession of a list of New York targets and chem-bio weapons information, she had allegedly developed a plot, however improbable or amateurish, to kill Presidents Jimmy Carter and George H.W. Bush and to attack the White House. Siddique plotted to use weapons that included biological agents to contaminate former president Carter's water, according to multiple federal sources.

Alleged Al Qaeda 'Mata Hari' Aafia Siddique is an MIT graduate and received a PhD from Brandeis. Her lawyer says the government's case against Siddique is a lie.
"Lies! All lies!"
Those allegations, some contained in the federal complaint filed on July 31st by the US Attorney in Manhattan, the details expanded on by sources spoken to by ABC News, paint Siddique, 36, as a committed Al Qaeda operative, and one whose capture could hold the key to identifying other operatives and supporters both in the US and overseas. But her lawyer, activist attorney Elizabeth Fink, says the entire government case against Siddique is a lie.

#5  It doesn't much matter whether or not Dr. Siddique is talking. Her thumbdrive of email exchanges and hard drive of plans and procedures is quite enough for our clever boys and girls to go on with, I'm sure. Dear Dr. S. can explain all that stuff later, after she's languished for a while with only her attorney to speak to. Apparently boredom coupled with a highly nutritious diet lacking in tryptophans is a very effective thing.

#4  And just a few days ago a dead muslim was found in Denver with a canister of cyanide. Perhaps AQ wants to preemptively poison a future "Worst President Ever", ala Minority Report. Though judging by Obama's cousin Raila Odinga, I would think AQ would be ululating for joy.
