After entering Syria, she posted a picture of herself holding her US passport, posted it on her social media, and wrote that the passport was going into a bonfire.
She spent years working for ISIS as a social media propagandist. She frequently called for American blood. She was an active member of ISIS all the way up to the time that she was captured. It was immediately after being captured that she claimed that she regretted the things that she did, claimed to have been brainwashed, and wanted to return to the US.
She is an enemy soldier--period.
OK, I got her confused with a current case. All of what I know about this case comes from here.
I'm seeing some pretty interesting claims of certainty of guilt made here. I don't have access to the of hard evidence needed to convict a person which you seem to have..I do not accept the media or internets forum as credible sources of evidence in much of anything, but most especially in matters of a criminal trial.
My basic position is unchanged: I do not support trail by media or public opinion. In my country we have a legal position called' The presumption of innocence". I was unaware that principle had been abolished in the US.
Those of us here in the "chattering classes" get to say whatever we want behind our monitors. Everything offered here is an opinion, and of course not necessarily a legal one. You seem bent on reforming the people here, but the fact is we get to say whatever the hell we want, and are allowed to be "wrong" simply because we are not legal professionals, and are offering non-binding opinions. The US also has a presumption of innocence in courts of law. This forum is not a court of law. I don't support trial by media or public opinion, either. The ultimate result of this woman's case likely won't be adjudicated by anyone on this site, either.
If you get to thinking you’re a person of some influence, try ordering somebody else’s dog around.
