You don't say.
Emphasis on "very". Terrorists killing innocent Americans by the thousands? We brought that on ourselves. They're forgiven. American troops going overseas to actually kill terrorists and topple the tyrannical regimes of those who support them? To paraphrase Marvin the Martian, "That makes her very angry!

"She has a very serious mental illness," Kelley said.

"This case is not about terrorism. This is a case about somebody who is mentally ill. She has a history."

One of Mayo's three sons, Josh, 31, described his mother as a peace activist and said she had been in Pakistan since March. "I guess she just had a bit of a bad time on the plane...
Yeah...just a bit.
...and everybody's a little paranoid," he told Associated Press.
"Paranoid"? Try "vigilant".
Her former [I'm shocked. - ed.] husband, William Mayo, has said she had "emotional issues."

Her lawyer said yesterday that Mayo's family said she "has a problem being grounded in reality" that has required past hospitalizations.
