To US Ambassador

The Ambassador does not understand that only full details of the issue can satisfy the Pakistani public. There is little point in such letters when Pakistanis are being bombed by NATO and refugees are pouring in Rawalpindi from NWFP. Dr. Aafia may or may not be a dangerous person, perhaps her lineage was cause of her detention and now it is just cover up Pakistani style. The ground reality is that it is not feasible politically to try her in US or Pakistan now. -M. SHAIKH, Islamabad, via e-mail, August 17.
