| Pakistan protests U.S. anti-terror policy |
| 2003-01-12 |
| Pakistan's ruling party has passed a resolution demanding that the United States not mistreat Pakistani citizens and voicing concern over America's anti-terror policy requiring Pakistanis and others to register with the government. I think we need a Congressional resolution demanding that Paks not cut Americans' heads off or shoot them or blow them up. That's a lot more painful than requiring people to use genuine passports... During the Pakistani Muslim League general council meeting Saturday, newly-elected party president Chaudary Shaujaat Hussain affirmed that Pakistan and the United States remained partners in the war against terrorism. However, officials said that if Washington does not change its attitude regarding the registration process, relations between the two countries could be affected. Whoa! Is that a briar patch? Don't throw us in there, please! The party's general council also directed Prime Minister Mir Zafarullah Khan Jamali Saheb to bring home Pakistani prisoners in Afghanistan who were arrested for supporting the Taliban. "Yeah. They've suffered enough. We've got things they could be doing back here at home..." |
