You also claim that the government is inept and corrupt. What does that have to do with Shireen Mazari’s article about Faisal Shahzad that this post examines? Nothing. It is irrelevant. And we do not defend the government except when they are lied about or misrepresented, just as we have defended Nawaz Sharif and others when they were slandered. Just because you don’t like Zardari or Nawaz or anyone else doesn’t give you the right to make up stories to defame them. Think about what you believe, don’t just believe it.

Also we are not “bent on defending Clinton” and I would not say that Musharraf lied in his book when he revealed that comment. But this is a perfect example of your error: That comment was not made my Clinton who was not even in office at the time but rather it was said by US Deputy Secretary of State Richard Armitage.

As you see, sometimes the things that you believe are not quite as they seem. I have no doubts that Shireen Mazari is intelligent, but that does not give her the right to mislead people by twisting other people’s words and promoting conspiracy theories. Facts are facts, even if they are inconvenient to a particular world view.

This is what she said “We’ve made it very clear that if – heaven-forbid – an attack like this that we can trace back to Pakistan were to have been successful, there would be very severe consequences”

The illegitimate and evil ways of the US are a known fact to the entire human poppulation, still some amongst us stand up for it, for a small worldly gain.

As far as Shirin Mazari is concerned, I simply say, she is the spokesperson of Taliban, whose sole aim is to defend the brutal policies of Taliban and extremists. In a recent gimmickry, Shireen Mazari has written the master piece of conspiracy literature about the Faisal Shahzad case. Which was totally fake and based on mere wrong information? In his dusty article she blamed Hussain Haqqani that “ our Ambassador to Washington maintain a strange silence in the immediate aftermath instead of seeking access to Faisal Shahzad, given that despite being a US citizen his Pakistani links were being played up? But Ambassador to Washington Husain Haqqani was on CNN News to discuss the incident. Also he was in all of the newspapers with some statements. Does Shireen Mazari not read the news herself? “The Nation is only against Hussain Haqqani as he is against sympathizers of extremist elements while as a sole and major sympathizer of Taliban, The Nation has launched a constant maligning campaign against Hussain Haqqani

“To Husain Haqqani, who played a vital role in providing guidance and criticism, especially invaluable on the theocratic foundations of Islam and the history of Pakistan – a loyal friend whose counsel to both the author and the collaborator will always be cherished.”

A man of whom Benazir Bhutto had such a high regard must be counted as an asset by the Pakistan People’s Party. These are troubled times. The anti-democratic forces are all set to create rifts in the single largest political force holding the Federation of Pakistan together. Reactionary politics and irresponsible propaganda will lead us to another disaster. Shireen Mazari is spokesperson of Tehreek-e-Insaaf, a pro-Taliban party. She spares no opportunity against H.H. These people are real nemies of Pakistan and democracy. These people like Shireen Mazari are ruining democratic set. They must be discouraged.

Good job, keep up the good work.
