Re: Who was talking about freedom of press and criticism of Mushi?
Factually speaking, what he is writing is inconsistent with what is being reported in Pakistani newspapers' latest updates. As I showed in the links, this story is covered extensively in Pakistani media with hour-by-hour updates, including the press conference given by Mukhtaran Mai alongwith the Advisor to the Prime Minister. That almost completely nullifies the conjectures drawn by Mr Kristof. Ok, so that may just be a premature ejaculation on his part due to timing. But the lengths he has gone to link Musharraf with the story of Mukhtaran Mai is laughable and intermingled with his claim that his visa is denied by Musharaf personally is like ak claiming that Bush took pictures of Saddam in his underwear. I don't think you'd get the point so quickly, so try again.
