Frontier Post Pakistan ^ | 5/6/02 | F U Rahaman

Not at all. In fact, I don't think they have a national newspaper. It's about as wide open there as it is in the US.

This particular paper routinely is on the lunatic fringe of reporting and is the least reliable of the six or so papers I've read.

Dawn is probably the most mainstream, but you see anti-government or anti-Musharraf stuff printed there pretty frequently, too.

Ahhhh ok. So unless the gov't is doing some arm twisting that sort of blows my theory out of the water. They can come up with whatever excuse they want because we are coming hard and heavy if they do have some of our boys then you know those guys going in there are going to have a rather large bone to pick with the tribal folk out there.

The Frontier Post in Pakistan has a track record of publishing absolute, unmitigated horsesh*t. This is just one more steaming pile from the same source.

No reason for anyone in a civilized country with access to the Internet to take this seriously. The pathetic part is the fact that the press in the Muslim world frequently puts out stories like this. There are people in those countries who read this crap and believe it.

Recall Propaganda Minister Goebbel's reports of Hitler's "secret plan" to win World War II, which was announced as the Allies were closing in on Berlin. The downside of such garbage as this is it gives the enemy a false sense that anything but defeat after defeat are happening to their side. This is intended to deceive the enemy "soldiers" into continuing to fight.

In short, stories like this will cost a few lives of Americans and our Allies. They will cost many lives of the fools on the other side.
