    1. I think he should be convicted first by the courts...

    2. The relavtives should then take blood money and forgive Davis

    3. The driver should who killed should be tried in the states an should also pay blood money to victims family

    4. Dr. Afia should be exchanged

    5. ISI should ensure that no CIA operatives are roaming our streets or behind their back (*obviously ISI has allowed CIA to work in Pakistan)

    6. Drone Attacks should be stopped (maybe im stretching too much... DAVIS may not be worth that much for the Americans and Pakistan may not have the stomach to ask too much)

    THE ONLY WE HAND HIM OVER

    What does everyone think of this?

    Agree with all points except the Aafia part. Lets think logically and set emotions aside, US would never do that, it has never happened before that someone convicted and found guilty is released from a US prison.

    I strongly recommend for effected families to except blood money, it will help them a great deal and change their generations future. Killing Davis is not going to help them except some momentarily relief.

    i dont think afia case is impossible, even the lockerbie bomber was sent to libya. Afia can probably complete her sentence in pakistan.

    kher these are just thougts.. im sure outcome will be totaly different.

    Aafia Siddiqui, unfortunately, happens to be a US citizen as well, I'm told. That does complicate matters somewhat, doesn't it?

    As for what happens to RD now, perhaps the best attitude to adopt might be: who cares? His part of the work has been done already. Awakening the population with a bang and giving the powers that be a mighty jolt from which they might not recover anytime soon.

    I watched Capital Talk other day where Aafia's family denied that she was US citizen. My understanding was she was on Education visa in US. Where did you hear that she was US citizen, any link?

    Two points. 
    1) Trading Aafia for Davis is neither impossible nor unprecedented. During the Cold War the United States and the Soviet Union traded spies regularly. The report that the US has turned down the trade is irrelevant. This is negotiation. 
    2) Aafia is a citizen of Pakistan. She has never gotten a green card from the US let alone citizenship. This was confirmed during her trial in New York City. I was in the courtroom. Unlike most people who speak about Aafia, I have known her for more than twenty years. I have known her mother and her sister for nearly as long. I have known her brother for more than thirty years. If Aafia had ever gotten US citizenship I would have known about it. I would have been at the ceremony. She is not a US citizen.

    "Aafia Siddiqui, unfortunately, happens to be a US citizen as well"

    I don't know why you keep repeating that Haqqani/RM lie. She isn't!!! That is a lie spread by them to not have to take action in her support and to show her in a bad light in the minds of people...

    True.

    "Aafia is a citizen of Pakistan. She has never gotten a green card from the US let alone citizenship. This was confirmed during her trial in New York City."
    Thank you for clarifying that. It has been stated here and in the papers and on TV many times before. Somehow people keep going back to "Aafia Siddiqui is US citizen"
