Mind Hack’s takes a look at the MIT and Brandeis alumnas turned terrorist doctoral thesis titled: Separating the components of imitation and a latter paper which she authored.
It’s a shame that Brandeis happened to cross paths with this sociopath.
The (suspected) Al-Queda member, Aafia Siddiqui. who happened to by coincidence, have studied neuroscience at Brandeis has at long last been captured over in Afghanistan.
Fortunately, she’s been caught and hopefully the Judicial system will throw the book at her and lock her away for her crimes (not the least of which is attempted murder of a Federal agent).
Looks like the (small yet annoying )fringe contingent of the alma matter has their cause du jour for the fall.

Hot McDonald’s French fries and a call home encouraged Salim Hamdan to cooperate under interrogation but Osama bin Laden’s driver did not like cold fries and isolation upset him, witnesses said at his Guantanamo war crimes trial on Friday.
Now did those McDonalds fries have Trans-Fats in them? If so, that may be torture in a sense.
Nor can you blame the guy for disliking cold fries…
Ahmadinejad target of ‘Rome X-ray plot’, diplomat says
Perhaps he’d like to don some tin foil the next time he’s in Rome to avoid the evil radiation waves…
The raid the Israeli Airforce conducted back in September, appears to have taken out a Syrian nuclear facility:
North Koreans Taped at Syrian Reactor
Will the name Al-Kibar now be synonomous with Osirak (the Iraqi reactor also destroyed by the IAF).
Imad Mughniyeh is dead via car bomb
Cross another one of the FBI’s most wanted terrorist list
Okay, in his second term, it looks like Bush has lost the swagger from his first term. In addition to his grasp on reality:
Bush said, but he predicted one could be reached within a year, putting himself more firmly on the line than ever for an achievement considered unlikely by many experts.
The experts are actually right on this one…
Common sense would dictate that one shouldn’t do anything to provoke any reaction from the TSA.
Apparently one MIT student didn’t think along those lines and decided to wear something provocative (in terms of security) and thought that there’d be nothing wrong with it.
Obviously this student didn’t learn the lesson of the Mooninite affair and how hyper-sensitive Boston is.
Yet another example of where academic smarts don’t correspond with common sense.
The NYPD and the Port Authority had the sense to deny Iran’s loony rambling leader the change to get a photo op at Ground Zero.
However, Columbia University has made the (stupid) move to give the ranting man another forum and microphone.
As if the simple fact that “despot and dictator week: here in NYC wasn’t bad enough (a/k/a UN General Assembly Opening Week).
Asked to comment on Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadenjad’s call to wipe Israel off the map, Assad said: “This is freedom of speech. Any person in the world has the right to express himself freely. This is just an expression.”
So says Syrian Dictator Bashaar Assad in an interview with CBS (via Debka) Because after all, Syria is a shining example of countries that allow free speech….
Bin Laden’s “remarks” in his latest cameo, are so similar to those of certain elements of the Left, that it’s as if he Onion wrote the script.
On a college campus, the presence of a 50′ inflatable rocket, isn’t usually interpreted to mean what it’s intended to.
Rather, the majority of students will perceive it as a giant 50′ phallus….
The event being promoted by the rocket does sound interesting:
“American policy options in the face of Iranian nuclear proliferation”
Sponsored by the College Dems and Reps and a pro-Israel group.

Press Release
With the Holiday of Purim (פורים) coming this weekend, it’s time for the annual:
Modern Day Haman Pagent!
This years contenders include, but aren’t limited to those whom seem to be recurring candidates:
Ahmadinejad, Castro, Hugo Chavez, Meshal, Assad, Bin Laden, Al-Zawahiri, Nasrallah….
Whom would you vote for? Who else deserves to be a pagant contestant?
(Hat-tip to Mind of Mog for the Hebrew letters)
What’s going on here?
Sen. Levin getting hawkish and the US willing to talk with Iran and Syria?
Al Sharpton was possibly related to Strom Thurmond?
What a strange world we live in….
Arabs try outreach to Israel, U.S. Jews
Um…..this should be interesting
It looks like everyone else has said everything that needs to be said about it.
But something which crossed my mind:
If this report was supposively “bipartisan”…how come it’s getting panned by (rational) people from both parties? Furthermore, what kind of reflection of the two major parties is it?
Finally–what the heck does Israel have to do with any of it?
Purely hypothetical…
But would there still be calls for an increase in the number of troops over in Iraq if we were to say loosen the current Rules of Engagement a bit?
And thus unleash more of our mean finghting machine?
The (first) tribunal trying Saddam Hussein is set to release it’s verdict tomorrow.
Some are forcasting a civil war from the verdict.
This blog’s prediction: Outpouring of gunfire–no matter the verdict.
Rationalization: It’s commonplace in Arab society to celebrate with gunfire (shot into the air). Ergo, the Shi’ites who will be celebrating Saddam’s conviction will likely celebrate as such.
Or if the forcasts for civil war hold true–expect to see….gunfire!
