Re: ISI's desperate bid to save Musharraf
I think there is a high bar for evidence when making allegations of "ISI involvement', and Jan has come nowhere close to meeting that.
Ahmed Qureishi has always been a strong, vocal Musharraf supporter - I believe he started during Musharaf's regime. His opinions haven't changed since then so I fail to see how it can be argued that all of a sudden he is now an "ISI agent" - if anything, he has shown himself to be consistent in his support for Musharraf and his beliefs, regardless of how much Musharraf was dragged through the mud - like some of us on this forum.
The article reeks of the paranoia and pseudo-journalism we often see in Pakistan - it panders to everyones fears of the 'establishment' and the 'ISI' manipulating things, when the truth is that there continue to be some people who remain loyal to Musharraf's vision and his accomplishments, and do not have faith in the current political setup.
Rather than acknowledge the different opinions that exist in Pakistan, hacks like these argue that it is an 'ISI conspiracy' - just rubbish, and sad.
