Ayaz Amir, Dawn:
It would also help if Pakistani journalists given to parroting the American line on Afghanistan (friendship deterring me from naming them) were to stop insinuating that elements within the Pakistani intelligence community are helping the Taliban. If they are helping the Taliban, there would have been no need to get 700 of our soldiers killed in Waziristan.
Currying favour with foreigners is a time-honoured Pakistani pastime but it shouldn’t be carried to the extent where it begins to harm the country. Let the New York Times and the Washington Post say what they will. We should be more careful about our own utterances.
