Partly Facetious: Nothing has been proved against Zardari and cricketers

11 Dec, 2010

"Imran reckons all the ills in cricket emanate from the PCB Patron in Chief, President Asif Ali Zardari."
"I can't imagine the President opening new vistas for the cricketers to make money illegally."
"Think about what you said."
"Hey nothing has been proved against the President and nothing has been proved against the cricketers so hold your horses."
"I agree, but there is corruption by example and..."
"Please I am tired of saying the same thing over and over: corruption has not been proved, charges against the Bhutto and Zardari clan were part of political victimisation, there was corruption before the present government took over power, no one is clean and..."
"And I am tired of saying that refusal to allow impartial investigation as well as revealing the wealth stashed abroad as well as its source and..."
"You want to take on the Zardari clan or the Gilani clan you will have to wait once the government falls."
"OK, but going back to the cricketers there is a need to expedite the investigation against three of our cricketers currently underway."
"There is video footage..."
"That's entrapment; isn't it?"
"Entrapment is illegal if the police indulge in it, I am not sure what the law says about entrapment by the media."
"If you are clean you will not be tempted."
"That's what entrapment is about: giving sufficient incentive to a target so that he feels unable to resist. I ask you: if you offer 3 million dollars to someone who is somebody in this country, wouldn't he be tempted."
"I would have thought his threshold is higher than that!"
"You know what I mean."
"I simply marvel at your inability to see the macro picture: take my advice never offer your services for entrapment to Pakistani politicians."
"Don't be facetious."
