A former general and NSA would not — by all standards of rationality — agree to deliver an anonymous letter to the highest military officer in the US, which means Mansoor Ijaz must have briefed him on the memo, its basic background, and where it was coming from
Something here stinks.
As the gate to the memo begins to creak open, wafts of lies are floating out and polluting the air around Pakistan. There is a faint rumbling of heavy engines gunning to life and the claptrap of shuffling feet as worried politicos with furrowed brows scurry around the corridors of power wondering if the unspeakable eventualities are about to materialise like a menacing storm.
And all this because someone, somewhere, is lying through his teeth. Mayday, Mayday, from that day in May, may have created mayhem but now what may or may not happen is all up for grabs — just like the ambassadorial job in Washington, DC.
This is the effect, but the cause remains elusive. Maddeningly so. Facts as we know them, just do not add up. There are just too many unknowables, which makes connecting the dots an exercise in frustration. Gaps are being filled by conjecture, hearsay and delicious conspiracy-mongering. Who does not like a good juicy political story?
