She one of the of finest brains Pakistan has, well informed and stable mind; unlike many clueless idiots both side of Pakistani politics has. For many 'baigairat' brigade lunatics her personal life and being a women is her negative side though.

Overall seems to be a very good choice in appointing Sherry Rahman as the envoy to USA.
Firstly, she has some credibility in USA (and the west). That will help to improve the image-building efforts.
Secondly, it will ensure that she remains further away from the religious "nut-jobs" who seemed to be developing a "blood-lust" for her.
Of course; how the "deep state" views her, I don't know.
p.s. does she also hold dual-nationality (a US passport also) as Haqqani does?

I think the issue is deeper and bigger than merely nuclear weapons. It is a power struggle between the faujis and the politicos being played out.
