It was confirmed almost immediately by the Guardian that Pakistani officials were involved in a cover-up.
What are you smoking mate? We are to take unsubstantiated claims in a press as fact now are we?? Was it a court of law-no, UN agency- no.
I also note you have gone silent on the earlier silly and untrue claim you made that ISI was complicit in hiding Osama and or incompetent
You haven't found me telling lies, you've only accused me of telling them. Such charges against me dissolve the closer one looks at them, yes? If I make a factual error and someone catches it I bring that fact up, right? It's in accordance with the principle that everyone is entitled to their own opinion, but not their own facts.
Yes you did you claimed that Pakistan had been found guilty when the evidence in the way of your govt statements contradicts what you are stating. You have been made aware of this before but you continue when it suits you to make these false allegations-that sir to me is a lie on your part
While I find our exchanges profitable - I wouldn't have discovered the 1373 gag rule without your prodding, thanks - you're getting very personal and wound up, AM. I suspect that's because these matters hit very close to you and accepting the logic of my writing would mean you'd have to think badly about someone you've looked up to - perhaps an affable uncle, influential neighbor, or some other role model.
Life isn't black and white, AM. Yet it is still up to us to discern, as best as we can, right from wrong, good from evil, and decide which path to pursue.
I think you are exposed to be a liar and dishonest in your assertions. I think in your and Chengs case your education and intellectual prowess or the lack of these two ingredients are hampering your desires to debate. Not just that in your desire to act as the passionate cheer leaders of an unjust American the first thing you two do is treat facts as an optional extra. But you do serve a useful purpose and that is to openly have American policy trashed on the forum for all to see and make their minds up.
May I suggest something?
Both of you, Solomon2 and Agnostic Muslim, should either admit that neither is an expert in international law, or present evidence of this qualification, if you have it, before proceeding any further.
Otherwise, just admit to adhering to one side or the other as a personal opinion only: USA claims the drone strikes are legal; Pakistan says they are illegal.
The final determination is yet to be made, and I, for one, am quite content in waiting for it to be revealed as events unfold.
Not at all this is your defense of an American position that both you and Solomon hold. You are trying to pretend to be fair and telling them to not go here that is Agno and Solo. Your statement is self serving. Putting this post you are trying to save solomon embarrassment and trying to stop the exposing of American policies. I think Agno has simply put in the bin Sols justifications for the American and your position
