Of course I do understand that but the letter referred is from Special Branch. IB sends intelligence reports directly to PPHQ if it wants to. Maybe they did send to to SB. Not a big problem, it's the same country :)

Goodbye Safi Lala. A cousin remembers FC Commandant Safwat Ghayyur Memories float by. I think of the last time I spoke to him – morning of 14th July his birthday (he had joked about becoming an old man); the last time I saw him (he had preferred sitting out in the lawn and had sipped...

On this, JI will not be alone but you can argue that their street power as a whole is dying. The ideological power however is not dead, and far from dying. PS : I'm not disconnected politically :)

I never said you were, but told you not to give me the personal attack card. Anyways, not the major point right now. Ayub Khan was sitting and deciding everything? Moving beyond the logic of this, backup your claims about WB possibly giving loans for KBD back then, especially since you claim...

FO is rejecting claims, obviously. Let's see if this thing folds out properly. Good reporting if true deserves commendation regardless of ideological leaning. I certainly hope so. My personal view remains that we made Israel hostile towards us with our send-troops-to-free-Palestine attitude...

You are one big nincompoop, and I say with all possible irritation that arises from recognizing your utter disconnect from reality and fictional portray of facts. Where did I state the date of the feasibility? But that's not the point here. Do you even know the history of the project? It was...

Then, you are unreliable :) My gripe was the fact that being a extreme right-wing paper (especially since Mazari took charge), Israel remains a ubiquitous mention and such reports can flare up irrational minds. I'll take your word for now. My claim of the flared-up responses will be best...

Good job. Lack of diplomatic relations in illogical. Protesting against injustice against Palestinians is not a reason for not even initiating diplomatic ties. Egypt has relations, so have other countries that have fought wars with it. Open an embassy, no need to start economic relations...

Azad:- freshwater storage, especially upstream, is not as simple. If an "unpar GAWAR" cannot understands the benefits of this, let alone any project, then your naivety and lack of knowledge about the issue is not any better. And for those who always state that politicians have ruined the...

That is IRCS not the state itself. I must state my surprise over the lackluster response from Iran.

Floods are in short not as "sexy" if you'd accept such an inhumane and insensitive use of the term as in it's commercial sale-ability. Earthquakes show pictures of entire cities crumbled to ashes, and the tsunami showed thirty foot high waves (besides the spread of the disaster and the presence...

If you don't know about Cafe Pyala, its a blog on media run by a number of electronic and print media journalists. Here's their take on the issue:- Who's Afraid of the Big Bad Geo? As the Geo versus government row rages on, one depressing truth is emerging from the stand-off: the virtual...

BBC's brilliant coverage. Although brilliant might not be a suitable word here, but BBC and Al-Jazeera are the only two International Channels giving the disaster the coverage it deserves. BBC News - How a tragedy unfolded in Pakistan

Call it a photo-op all you want, but he does spend time in public service:-

President to cut short Russia visit It will be an official visit of the president to Russia next week, president’s spokesman Farhatullah Babar said. Friday, 13 Aug, 2010 ISLAMABAD: After strong criticism of his visit to France and the United Kingdom at a time when the nation was coping...

Good work by Special Branch. Let's hope they're nabbed.

This is the only academic study of what can be called dynastical politics in Pakistan. The study focuses on Punjab. The lead author is the great Dr. Ali Cheema. A wonderful read. Colonial Proprietary Elites and Institutions: The Persistence of De Facto Political Dominance...

I signed in through mobile just to post the op-ed Fatman sb posted above. A great man's legacy must live on.

When did you visit Pakistan? Have you ever had the opportunity of driving in Rawalpindi or Saddar in Karachi?
