The things people say with a straight face

The Woman ISIS Wanted To Trade For Foley, Then Sotloff

Personally, I would have thought if they want her that much she's fine where she is.

Anyway, the piece says this, apparently in support of the idea that she should be freed.

Four British parliamentarians (Lord Ahmed, Lord Sheikh, Lord Patel and MP Mohammad Sarwar) called the trial a grave miscarriage of justice and demanded Siddiqui’s release. 

In a letter to President Barack Obama, they pointed to a lack of scientific and forensic evidence tying Siddiqui to the weapon she allegedly fired. 

Groups like the British-based Reprieve took up her case. 

Personalities such as the former cricketer-turned-politician Imran Khan also rallied behind her. 

One of her former attorneys described her as “the ultimate victim of America’s dark side.”

Maybe the article is a reprint from The Onion?
