Your comment would be a lot stronger if you could illuminate it with examples.

Is this a criticism of H.H. or merely a display of envy?

Would anybody with a complaint against H. Saeed actually be able to bring proof against him in a Pakistani court of law? Look how slowly the Mumbai investigation is going, compared to how quickly Pakistan jailed and sentenced a doctor for witlessly helping Americans catch Osama bin Laden. Why would any Pakistani have confidence in Pakistan's courts going after Saeed, let alone their personal safety if they brought such a suit?

Their is enough visible evidence of how "efficacious(?)" the pakistani justice system is when dealing with issues of terrorism and terrorists! Even there have been isnstances where Judges have recused/resigned themselves from hearing cases since they did not have the courage to eyeball the perpetrators in Court.

As for personal safety of the average Pakistani Citizen who would either bring a complaint or stand witness or prosecute such cases; there is none. When even Presidents and Prime Ministers of the country are not safe, what is there for the Average Joe?
Not to forget that hordes of Lawyers (who are also officers of the Judicial System) lined up to cheer and shower rose petals on an assassin!!!
All scenes right out of "Alice in Wonderland"!

But Nemesis is ever-present and just lurking around, so is the denouement.

Nice read. Thanks

Hussain Haqqani is not a Pakistani, but a U.S citizen....

Oh yeah; then how did an Amercan Citizen become the Paksitani Ambassador? Is the country short of educated and qualified people for the job?
Or it just did not matter?
Or was he just another one of them "Non-State Actors" who work for Pakistan off and on?
Amusing can really become Absurd, ain't it!
Some more tales from "Alice in Wonderland"

Oh please. NOT that WH$RE again!

Everything is possible in Pak these days. Our previous interior minister Reman Malick too had a British nationality.

And current interior minister too has all his family with American citizenship.

Funny place is this.

We don not have iota of doubt that his loyalty lies somewhere else. Which other ambassador would call his countrymen 'cheap rug dealers' while representing them infront of US officials?

Its just not funny! Is'nt it really absurd? How can a Citizen of another country uphold and defend the interests of yet another Country? Can Loyalty be divided?
Then the Chief Justice of Pakistan can be a British Citizen?
Or the Chief of Naval Staff can even be a Somali Citizen?
Really; scenes from "Alice in Wonderland".

Anything is possible in this country, when Yousaf Raza 'Fuckface' Gillani can become our Prime Minister.

Truth is out in front of the world. India should move a resolution in UN to declare it rouge state, end of story.

Or are they waiting till 2014 ??

 

[Pandora]

Which country does not ? Title is as lame as the guy in it.

Blah Blah Blah. Stop being an Indian apologist. Provide proof against Hafez Saeed in a court of law, otherwise stop slandering him. End of story.

Stop being a terrorist sympathizer.

As for HS.. this simple statement shows the little clues to where things are.

Saeed through his counsel pleaded that he was the head of JD, a charitable organization and had no link with LeT. The petitioner pleaded that he was a citizen of Pakistan and enjoyed same rights like any other individual. He asserted that the government should also defend him in the same manner as it was protecting chiefs of ISI and other officials.

Protecting them from what?

Your comment would be a lot stronger if you could illuminate it with examples.

The support given to Lashkar-e-Taiba by the Pakistani intelligence agency -- the Inter-Services Intelligence, or ISI -- serves as a case study for Haqqani. After the Mumbai massacre, Haqqani writes, Pakistan "initially denied any connection to the attack. Instead of trying to identify and punish terrorists, Pakistan focused on refuting reports of Pakistani complicity."

He says that the attack, which came in the final months of George W. Bush's presidency, lost Pakistan whatever official sympathy it previously had in Washington. No matter: Washington soon forgets, and Pakistan's military leaders can safely assume that they will pay no long-term price for supporting terrorism, Haqqani writes.

Soon after the bin Laden raid, the U.S. made an effort to test Pakistan's willingness to combat terrorism. Haqqani writes that two senior American officials visited Islamabad to propose a series of steps Pakistan could take to build confidence. They provided Pakistan with information about a bomb-making factory run by the Haqqani Network. (The Haqqanis of the Haqqani Network, a terrorist group, are not related to Husain Haqqani.)

Pakistan's military leaders "promised that the Pakistan army would send in troops to shut down the illicit factory that was manufacturing the IEDs," Haqqani writes. "A few days later the CIA sent time-stamped photographs showing the facility being dismantled hours before the army's arrival. The dismantling began after a man on a motorcycle went into the factory, thus leading to speculation that he had come to tip off the terrorists about the impending army operation."

Whole lies

"Every time the U.S. makes a reasonable request that would prove Pakistan's bona fides in fighting terrorism, our response was to raise the temperature of anti-American sentiment through the media, to provoke hostility," he told me. "The American folly is that they always think the Pakistani government is going to respond reasonably."

Half Truth

But shouldnt the bigger question be that why should we trust him after what he did. If he has prove then he should make it public, all we see him doing after every couple of months is issue a similar statement against Pakistan, and reignite the issue.

Hussain Haqqani is someone who did not deserve to be the ambassador of Pakistan in the US. A diplomats job is to defend his nation and provide all necessary representation of it whenever needed. Instead Hussain Haqqani continously derides and sneers at the Pakistani state.

That man has no loyalty to Pakistan. This is a mere observation but I do believe some action against Haqqani is a requirement for the government of Pakistan.

To say Pakistan is complicit in the murder of its own citizens is to sneer at the sacrifices of our brave soldiers who have fought militants and died in the service of their land. We need to remain critical I believe, no issue in that, objectivity makes us better Pakistanis but this is going too far. Haqqani is outright blaming his own country for the problems the world faces and the world needs more than anything right now, a scapegoat.

I liked Reham Karo Malik.

On topic- the wheels keep turning, the statements are not important it is the dynamics of Pakistan's relationship with the world which has changed which is the thing to look out for. With Pakistani interests being openly quashed by successive leaders in the face of American pressure, from Musharraf to Nawaz- from NRO to drones and Samshi. It is this hollowness, less to do with the Pakistani people (who are as always proud for better or for worse and not willing to take $hit piled on them), and more to do with the corner in which the successive administrations have cornered themselves into.
