Partly Facetious: for a change in HRCP job criteria
"I am quite upset at the report released by the Human Rights Commission of Pakistan."
"It can be dismissed. Bush likes working with our Musharraf."
"What does that have to do with anything? The report is extremely damning. It claims that the government is intolerant of dissent..."
"For the life of me I don't understand where these HRCP people get their degrees...must be from decadent Western countries...I think there should be a new recruitment policy for HRCP. Only those who have served under a military rule must be allowed to work there. It is OK for such qualified people to work in HRCs in the old democracies but we are working within a new and improved democracy."
"Don't be facetious. The report also states there is lack of media access in conflict areas and humanitarian agencies are also not allowed entry in such areas."
"What's the point of this? I mean as long as Bush likes Musharraf nothing will happen."
"And the areas of conflict seem to be increasing with time. I mean there is conflict in Sindh as well now and if this was happening in any other country one would have thought that the government would be forced to resign."
"As I said before we have the new and improved democracy, no need for resignations, except recalcitrant prime ministers."
"Musharraf needs to focus on only law and order, I mean he should ignore everything else or let his Chosen One do what he wants with other concerns."
"You are naïve. Do you actually believe Musharraf will relinquish an iota of power to anyone! Therein lies danger."
"Danger to who?"
"Danger to national interest, man! I mean if Musharraf has less power then our national interest is at stake."
"But he can't look at dams, he doesn't know anything about dams and cricket and..."
"Its all in the national interest."
