What we have here is an Israeli female reporter who surreptitiously visits Pakistan for a thrill. The guy writing for the
Pak Observer, Akhtar Jamal, reacts by wetting his bed in fear. Do other Pakistanis really have to follow his messed-up example?
where was it implied he "wet his bed in fear"
furthermore - if the article is to be believed, her photograph was taken (after some basic questioning) and she was allowed to carry on with her journalistic efforts. She wasn't "beat up" or "harassed" or "taken away" by the evil Pakistanis you take much interest in.
foreign journalists and co-respondents in Pakistan are treated and live in royalty in Pakistan since their stations are usually in posh areas of Islamabad and other big cities.....
in fact, journalists are more "free" in Pakistan than they are in ANY of the 'regional' countries of the sub-continent. I wont even go into the names of those countries.
someone here brought up that guy daniel pearl --- well, as for daniel pearl - i do remember the plea he made on video tape before his mentally-tormented assailants murdered him in cold blood......it was an embarrassment for Pakistan and a dark day in the country's history. No Pakistani is proud of what happened to him and I would hope other guests in the country who are kidnapped by thugs (such as Allen Weinstein) are found and returned safely
the ISI has extended a courtesy or two to the israeli mossad service and I would expect that even though we may not exactly be friends or allies or even have diplomatic recognition - that they will keep their footprint and their activities out of Pakistan......they ought to know that any such activity like espionage or being in touch with "groups" in Pakistan would be noted and highly 'un-appreciated' and would warrant similar and opposite reaction
I think Pakistanis tend to exaggerate mossad's interest or involvement in Pakistan though none of the threat assessments or analyses should be automatically disregarded because there's always a possibility for anything in this day and age -especially given the hostile and brutal nature of the neighborhood we live in
