In my eyes USA has lost any kind of authority on the matter of fighting terrorism or what's just and righteous. They were the ones who claimed to be the beacon of modern world, full of tolerance, human rights and freedom. Though then again they were the ones who threatened and manipulated everyone after 9/11 with "either you are with us or with the terrorists" and "either you help us and surrender your national ressources to us or we will bomb you into the stone age." Not much different than the terrorists who say "either you give us what we want or we will keep on exploding in your face."
Now these same moral leaders of the free world are sitting face to face with the very terrorists they wanted to destroy after 9/11, namely the Afghan Taliban. While those gullible, naive and to some extent power-hungery Afghans who belived in the American promise of freedom, democracy and a bright future for Afghanistan are being sidelined.
These moral people are so moral that yesterday they were busy playing the heros of the world and shouting loudly "we don't negotiate with the terrorists" while today they are refusing to recognize them as terrorists and offering them peace while at the same time those Afghans who chose to be on the side of America, who fought and sacrificed their everything for the "good" side and belived in the promise for freedom and democracy are being sold out and told to shut up if they dare to complain.

They were the ones who made us all believe that Iraq has "weapons of mass destruction" and needs to be invaded. The invasion and deaths of Iraqis was worth it since these sacrifices would be for a more democratic and free Iraq. Where is the democracy and freedom in Iraq? Where ever they went holding the banners of humanity and high moral values they made it worst for the natives and the region at large.
Keeping this in mind, I refuse to blindly believe I am on the moral side by continuing to support the narrative set by established liars, manipulator and bullies of the world. I don't feel the need to show how moral I am by jumping on the bandwagon of condemning each and everyone the leaders of the worlds have labeled as "terrorists". I don't believe in the word "terrorist". It is a biased label for the purpose of demonizing and dehumanizing an opponent and to be used by the self-interest of those in power. To me there are only killers and murderes. Those flying the drones and carpet-bombing whole villages are killers and those exploding in the markets are killers. None is better or worse than the other.
I find it a matter of great humiliation how we let the Americans deal with Afia. However even more painful and shameful it is to read stuff like:
"she was in Afghanistan, so she must be guilty"
"her husband was in alqaeda, so she must be guilty"
"she had extremist views, hence a terrorist so let's hang her"
I never knew being in a certain country automatically means you are a terrorist and you deserve everything coming to you, nor did I know that if one of your relatives is a criminal than you must be one too. I always thought one has to actually commit the crime to be put on a trial for it, while here forget committing the crime or a fair trail the accused is getting a direct verdict of death for having "extremist" views.
How quick we are to show that we are as innocent as a lamb and excersise high moral values. How quick we are to show our love for human rights and a peaceful world by condemning the evil and mean "terrorists". While those who we are trying to follow in footsteps only care about their self-interests and can handout or revoke their self-made label whenever it suits them.
There are countless stories of innocent people who ended up in Guantanamo and were tortured in the most inhumane way possible just because they ended up getting the label of "terrorist". Likewise in the case of Afia I don't believe in the USA's chains of events and they have very good reasons to keep her locked away. Due to the inhumane torture she was subjected to upon her capture, for instance. What a shame it would be if the world found out that those who claim to be the defenders of human right, the proponent of "innocent until proven guilty" and the guardians of oppressed women are the very first to break all kinds of principles when no one is watching and it suits their interests.
Mind you, I am not a believer in conspiracy theories nor a straight out denier of established facts like al-Qaida's involvement in 9/11 attacks or Bin Laden's presence in Abottabad. Still however I do not believe every word out of American's mouth for reasons illustrated above. I especially don't trust their narrative in Afia's case.
