One thing is that I did read the links before commenting. Not sure why you concluded that I didnt read it and considered it that all pakistanis do it...anywaz, you are free to conclude whatever u want.
I wrote that you did not read, because you claimed that both is from Ansar Abbasi

I went through the whole thing once again, and if you see the first line of what is given in Jang, and the last 3 lines, he didnt deny the whole thing. Yes, the retired general did come out and say it further but he never said clearly that Ansar Abbasi misreported him or his words were changed or anything like that. Did he say it?? He would have said it if thats the case.

Obviously Lt Gen Shahid Aziz came out to clarify himself because he realised that Abbasi lied and misreported him. So, he gave statement that denies all what Abbasi wrote. Actually, Gen Aziz to come out and give statement to Jang was because Abbasi wrote lies about him and what he said.

There is a lot of pressure on these newly retired generals and that may be the case. Still, I agree that the the General's later statement nuetralizes what he said earlier (as per Ansar Abbasi). However, I'm still going to buy Ansar Abbasi's report about JUI and Musharraf cuz it has a lot of evidences in it alongwith the response of both the parties.

Regarding government pressure ... what pressure when thugs in present government are trying to say same what Ansar Abbasi was writing (actually it must be thugs in present government ... most likely, thugs in PMLN ... who must have paid Abbasi to write lies). Actually, if there could be any pressure than pressure would be by present government to BS against Musharraf.
As for being newly retired general ... than I do not know what you mean by newly retired, as Lt Gen Aziz retired in 2005.
