Pakistanis should be pardoned if they are seeing too much in recent events. The dots they are connecting to make a picture are far too big to ignore and it would be moronic to consider them as coincidences. There was Admiral Mullen’s extraordinary statement blaming the government of Pakistan for the killing of journalist Saleem Shahzad while an investigation was in progress. This was followed by a statement from the State Department expressing concern over the same event. The Washington Post carried an article based on a letter supposedly written by a North Korean alleging military involvement in the proliferation episode that Pakistan had investigated and closed. The New York Times demanded – yes demanded – the removal of the Director General Inter Services Intelligence (ISI) as a prequel to the ‘restructuring’ of that organization.
