Ignore Guardian's Claim Of 'Fake' India WikiLeaks
The Guardian newspaper is claiming this report is 'fake'. Here is why you should disregard Guardian's claim for being biased:
WikiLeaks is not saying this. UK's Guardian newspaper is. It's one of 4 or 5 newspapers that have been selectively releasing the Wiki cables. About 1,200 have been released so far out of 251,000 or so. Guardian and others have manipulated the leaks to release material that supports US policy on Pakistan, specifically on Pakistani nukes and Pakistani policy on Afghanistan, India and Kashmir.
This selective approach was not limited to Pakistan. It extended to countries such as Russia and China, in addition to Pakistan, countries with whom US foreign policy is at odds.
WikiLeaks handed over the entire stash of cables to these 4 or 5 newspapers. What these papers did is to hold off everything and target these few countries in a surprising overlap with US objectives.
So the good work of WikiLeaks has been hijacked by these newspapers, including the Guardian.
Now there is this story in the Pakistani media and The Guardian is horrified that there is someone else practicing manipulation besides them.
Substantial parts of the story in Pakistani media is correct. It's only that The Guardian and the other newspapers are misleading the world public opinion by a selective focus on the things they want from WikiLeaks cables.
WikiLeaks did a good job of exposing US bully diplomacy, and here comes NYT, Guardian and 2 or 3 other 'partner' newspapers of WikiLeaks to selectively release the material to suit US policy objectives.

ReplyDeleteDear Ahmed,
ReplyDeleteYou disappoint me. Please, let us put our own house in order first.
You are either afraid of General Kayani and his henchmen or you are allied with them. Not a word of criticism from YOU about the General's kowtowing to Queen Anne! Learn to put Pakistan before personalities, whoever they are. I am sure you can do much better than my feeble attempt at the link below:
