Mansur's spin is always self aggrandizing.

Perhaps he screwed up in Danny's case ( best spin ) or, more ominously, had a more sinister role in it.

After all, his extended family is still in Pakistan.

And despite, what he says now, for all of 2002 he deflected any attention away from Pakistan's role in 9.11 and always, always, shilled for the Pakistani spin.



Just about to read the following book.

Levy's Who Killed Danny Pearl.

From what I read, Pearl sought out Ijaz, and they spoke about Pearl's contact in Pakistan, and Ijaz tried to talk him out of it, cautioned him about the danger. From everything I have read Pearl didn't fear anything, and always was after the big story... nothing would have stopped him from going to Pakistan. His zeal for the story clouded his judgement. This does not rule out the evil of the assassins involved... but Pearl did know the dangers when he went.

If there was a grand conspiracy with Ijaz involved, I would think that would have risen to the surface, by now. Just think how much the press would spin that story, now that Ijaz is extremely anti-Clinton.

Ridiculous.

Thanks for the bump.

Mansur's spin is always self aggrandizing.

Yeah, I'm tending toward that view.
