1Honestly FBI is a shame less pig. You see it is quite obvious that from cross dressers, liars and fraudsters, the FBI has now moved into the realms of fantasy land with the news that Dr. Aafia Siddique has "conveniently" been found outside a governor's office.
The US Congress must investigate Dr. Afia's case

Afghanistan: Malalai Joya versus Washington's warlords
August 20, 2008: Afghanistan lives in fear of US-sponsored warlords. These hated warlords are not scared by the Taliban monster raising its head in the south. But ironically, they live in the fear of an unarmed women in her late twenties: Malalai Joya.
To silence Joya's defiant voice, the warlords who dominate the national parliament suspended Joya's membership for three years in 2007. Earlier, at almost every parliamentary session she attended, she had her hair pulled or was physically attacked, and called names such as "whore". "They even threatened me in the parliament with rape", she says. But she neither toned down her criticism of the warlords ("they must be tried") nor the US occupation of her country ("the 'war on terror' is a mockery"). Understandably, she's been declared the "bravest woman in Afghanistan" and even compared with Burma's Aung Sun Suu Kyi.
