If you have been living under a rock for the past few days, then Memogate might be a strange word, much has been written about this online, and it seems to be the mother of all wikileaks which might see some heads roll. The battle is on between Mansoor Ijaz & the US Ambassador Husain Haqqani, and each trying their damnedest to crucify the other.
Despite my political difference with the US Ambassador Husain Haqqani, who I have been interacting on twitter for the past 2 years, I must accept he has served the interset of Pakistani nation in the US which is undoubtedly a very sensitive diplomatic hotspot. At the same time no diplomacy is achieved without adequate off-the-record diplomacy, so im not surprised that this was a secret and private memo.
At the same time there is overall consensus from many people I talk to that Mansoor Ijaz is a blackmailing opportunist, and it might possibly be that Husain Haqqani was caught smack in the middle of one of his games. The contents of the Memo are dangerous, Zardari the mastermind of the game is sadly our President and should be hanged for this Treason, but since the entire focus is on the two Haqqani & Mansoor, two questions need to be answered before we character assissnate anyone
- First question: Who drafted the Memogate?
- Second question: Who delivered the Memogate?
