No to the President, No to the Media
63 years ago
If there was to be a sequel to the movie Mr. Bean’s Holiday, it would be called President Goes to the USA. While Mr. President had a rendezvous half way across the globe with ex girl friends and beauty pageant winners, those back home wished he hadn’t left Islamabad in the first place. The media got its much alleged freedom, but how has that helped us? If the media is so responsible and its role is so vital, why have things gone as far as they have? WHERE IS THE MEDIA? Where are the anchors and the journalists who wanted to jump at every chance? They have the resources to interview sought after terrorists, but lack the guts to confront those in the government. Mr. President, if you want to be the savior you claim you are, stop playing in the hands of our enemies, bring about change, or it will force itself on you.

$100 million for BB’s UN Probe
11The Pakistan People’s Party demanded an International investigation after the assassination of former premier, Benazir Bhutto, when they were not in the government. That demand was not fulfilled.
A logical explanation at that time behind this demand was distrust in the previous government. But after taking over the government, all institutions – security and investigations included – fall under the new government. How do they justify it now? (more…)
