Not one word of sadness about the death of the girl. Not one word of sympathy to her family. What really happened to her appears to be of no concern to you ARB although you knew her well.
All you are concerned about is trumpeting your “victory” and also with “repaying” the favour done for you by Najib.readmorehttp://malaysiatravestyjudiciary.blogspot.com/2012/07/najib-abetting-aminah-abdullah-murder.html

In any Westminster-styled democracy, a country’s administration consists of three main machinations, namely, the Legislative, the Executive and the Judiciary. The Legislative makes laws. The Executive runs the country. Lastly, but by no means the least, the Judiciary adjudicates disputes and determines them.
The Judiciary does not only adjudicate disputes amongst private citizens but also, more importantly, disputes between the citizens and the Executive (the government). In a branch of law called “administrative law”, the Judiciary inherently has the power to issue four kinds of orders against the Executive. These are traditional judicial powers which are paramount towards ensuring that rules of law are complied with not only by the people but also by the Executive..readmorehttp://malaysiatravestyjudiciary.blogspot.com/2012/07/torture-and-impunity-in-police-lockups.html

Consistency, they say, is the hobgoblin of little minds, but sometimes it is just nature at its rare best -- when everything fits perfectly. As I write this piece, I feel a bit like a prosecutor who suddenly has all the pieces of evidence necessary to make a rock-solid case. It's a good feeling and I have Mitt Romney to thank for it. Now, I am not implying that anything he has done is criminal, just using the prosecutor metaphor to make my point. Over the past few months, he has thrown individual pieces of evidence my way but it was not until now that all the pieces meshed together to form a simple, clear, picture.
Ironically, if Romney had been forthcoming about all these facts from the get-go, he might have faced some criticism but there is a good chance he would have been able to put them to bed in time for the November elections, but it's too late now. The court of public opinion is already in session.
Aafia Siddiqui has been a victim from that fateful moment when she was kidnapped, and sent to Afghanistan–where she was brutally tortured. Her family also faced horrendous pain. A prejudiced jury has now pronounced her guilt–guilty of a crime of shooting at a marine–when there were no bullet holes, and no fingerpring on the gun–the frail MIT graduate has been pronounced guilty of attacking several armed males, somehow snatching their gun and then shooting at them–when she had no clue about guns.
Hopefully she will will the case on appeal.
NEW YORK: Aafia Siddiqui, the Pakistani neuroscientist, was found guilty of attempted murder charges on all seven counts listed in the complaint against her. She was tried on charges of trying to kill American soldiers in Afghanistan on July 28, 2008.
However, the jury did not find her guilty on any pre-meditated murder charge. According to her lawyer, Ms Siddiqui could be given a sentence of up to 35 years.
After the jury left the room Aafia Siddiqui, who was inside, shouted: “I know this is not the verdict of American people, I know where it is coming from.”
Elaine Sharp, a defence attorney, came out of the court room to tell reporters that Ms Siddiqui had asked her to request the people of Pakistan to remain calm and that she has faith in the Almighty.
Charles Swift, the lead defence attorney, said after the verdict that “I have faith in American justice system. We will appeal the verdict. I completely disagree with the verdict given”.readmorehttp://muslimmalaysiareview.blogspot.com/2010/02/aafia-siddiqui-victim-from-that-fateful.html
Exhibit A - Bain Capital's Business Model
Notwithstanding the financial engineering behind such transactions, the essence of the Leveraged Buyout, or LBO, is painfully simple. Under Romney, Bain bought companies by using a little bit of its own money, taking a big loan out for the rest, and then dumping that debt onto the companies' books so that Bain itself took very little risk. For the next few years, Bain would siphon off whatever profits it could by declaring dividends to itself and then finally cash out by selling the company. With so much debt on the books, a number of these companies (22 percent) went bankrupt or shut down, and 8 percent were complete disasters; of the ones that survived, most had to cut jobs and other productive business activities just to service the debt, which hampered their growth. Bain's investors, meanwhile, made out like bandits -- to the tune of $2.5 billion. Great business model, except if you were the acquired companyREADMORE.http://themalaybusinesstribune.blogspot.com/2012/07/smoking-guns-najib-field-of.html
