![]() | Fake affidavit against Chief Justic of Pakistan Will the signatories to the affidavits, filed with the sworn statement of the chief of staff to the president, submitted to the full court, depose before the judges about the authenticity and veracity of their statements? At least, one of them is now uncertain not only about the signatures on "his" affidavit but also its contents. At one point, he categorically said that the affidavit was never signed by him. At another stage, he said that the signatures appearing on the affidavit were not his but these did resemble his initials. Talking to The News on the assurance that his name would not be disclosed, the concerned signatory was apprehensive and shy of going to the court for being a government servant. Since the filing of an absolutely "fake" affidavit does not make sense, the officer was asked to come on the record but he did not oblige. The officer hails from the Punjab. Well over a dozen affidavits of government servants, both from the Centre and the provinces, are attached to the affidavit of Lt-Gen (retd) Hamid Javaid, the Chief of the Staff. The CoS's affidavit includes the sworn statements of Chairman Central Board of Revenue Abdullah Yousaf; Lt-Col Saeedullah, MS to the NWFP Governor; Khushnood Akhtar Lashari, former Punjab additional chief secretary and, at present, the Health Secretary; Ali Ahmad Junejo, Hyderabad District Police Officer; Amil Shameen Wyne, former Pishin DPO; Khalid Bilal, former Public Relations Officer of the Supreme Court of Pakistan; Mudassir Iqbal, Director-General (Protocol), Sindh; Ziaul Hasan Khan, former IGP Punjab, and, at present, Commandant, National Police Academy; Mushtaq Hussain Hamdani, Director-General (Protocol) Punjab; Jehangir Mirza, former IGP, Sindh; Safdar Ali, Constable; Muhammad Naeem, Assistant In-charge (security guard); Javed Sadiq Malik, former principal secretary to the prime minister, and, at present, the Federal Ombudsman. Among those present in the Army House, Rawalpindi on March 9 — as claimed by the Chief Justice Iftikhar Muhammad Chaudhry in his affidavit submitted before the full court earlier — three, including the CoS to the president, Director-General Military Intelligence Maj-Gen Nadeem Ijaz and Director-General Intelligence Bureau Brig (retd) Ijaz Shah have submitted their affidavits. The Director-General Inter Services Intelligence (DG ISI) Lt-Gen Ashfaq Kiani, who was also present in the Army House on March 9, did not submit his affidavit. A senior government legal aide, when asked about the reason for this conspicuous miss, said that there was no need for all to submit their affidavits. The chief justice, in his affidavit, had said that after he declined to resign before the president, the DG ISI and the DG MI pressurized him to quit but he refused to do so. The DG MI, in his affidavit, however, denied to have exerted any pressure on the CJ to resign. Meanwhile, it has been learnt that the Chief of Staff to President Lt Gen (retd) Hamid Javaid's part of the affidavit was included after much indecisiveness because of the fear that it might lead to supplement the judicial crisis. According to sources, in a high-level meeting, it was no less than the president's top legal aide, Sharifuddin Pirzada, who advised the government to ignore the inclusion of the said evidence. Pirzada, these sources said, insisted that if the said evidence is produced against the chief justice, then two other senior "authorities" falling in the same category of "corruption" should also be proceeded against by the government. The CoS, in his affidavit, said, "The CJP submitted numerous claims and received cash worth hundred of thousands of rupees for reimbursement of petrol for car No. CIA-9 on the basis of receipts, purportedly issued by a Shell Pump (Abdullah & Sons) at Sumungly Road, Quetta. All the receipts are bogus. The pump, at all material times, only sold diesel, it did not sell petrol. The amounts were reimbursed to the CJP against these fake receipts." According to the sources, it was revealed to the official investigators during the probe that it was not the chief justice alone but also two other respected authorities, who were getting reimbursement of petrol on the basis of receipts issued by the same Shell pump, which the CoS affidavit claims does not sell petrol and only deals with diesel. These disclosures upset the decision makers for the reason that if the said evidence was produced against the chief justice, then how could the other two be spared. |

![]() | Inside Iraq - The landmark visit to Iraq - 07 Mar 08 - Pt.1 The visit of Mahmoud Ahmadinejad, Iran's president, to Iraq is seen as a new chapter in relations between the two countries. The historic trip, the first by an Iranian leader since the Iran-Iraq war, sparked heated protests and outraged many Sunni Arabs. Some political observers think this underscored how a growing Iranian influence in Iraq could aggravate the existing mistrust and further sour relations between Shia and Sunnis. However, Iraqi political leaders appear determined to move closer to Tehran, despite American accusations that Iran finances and supports militias inside Iraq. How will this new level of closer political and economic relations between Iran and Iraq impact the political future of Baghdad and the wider region? What are its implications on the already strained political power play between Sunni and Shia factions in Iraq? How will the US react and will it change its security and military strategies in Iraq? Our guests this week are: Dr Sadeq Zibakalam from Teheran University, Rich Schmierer from the US State Department and Dr Abdallah Alshaaal, former Egyptian Assistant Foreign Minister. |

![]() | Whom started The war in Georgia! *(part 1) Inspiration And Danger In Georgia By Michael Gerson Washington Post Wednesday, August 20, 2008; Page A15 Daniel Fried: "Georgia badly miscalculated in this crisis. President Mikheil Saakashvili believed he could quickly gobble up his breakaway provinces, just as he did in Georgia's southwest four years ago. He is a hothead who acted against American advice. " From Green Light to Yellow By Dan Froomkin Special to washingtonpost.com Wednesday, August 13, 2008; 1:03 PM "Bush administration officials have been adamant in asserting that they warned the government in Tbilisi not to let Moscow provoke it into a fight -- and that they were surprised when their advice went unheeded. Right up until the hours before Georgia launched its attack late last week in South Ossetia, Washington's top envoy for the region, Assistant Secretary of State Daniel Fried, and other administration officials were warning the Georgians not to allow the conflict to escalate. Julian E. Barnes and Peter Spiegel write, Los Angeles Times "A senior U.S. official involved in Russia policymaking vehemently denied that the administration had sent mixed messages, arguing that although Saakashvili had long received strong support from the most senior American officials, Georgians were warned not to engage Russia militarily. "'We have consistently, and on Thursday also, urged the Georgians not to move their forces in. We were unambiguous about it,' said the official, who spoke on the condition of anonymity when discussing private talks with the Georgians. 'Saakashvili had always told us he could not stand by while Georgian villages were being shelled, and we always knew this was a point of pressure. We always told him that he should not give in to the kind of provocations we knew the Russians were capable of.' U.S. Watched as a Squabble Turned Into a Showdown Published: August 17, 2008 Whether they intended to build a military for fighting or deterrence is unclear. American officials said they repeatedly and bluntly told their Georgian counterparts that the Iraq mission should not be taken as a sign of American support, or as a prelude, for operations against the separatists. American officials said that they had clearly told their Georgian counterparts that the plan had little chance of success, given Kremlin statements promising to protect the local population from Georgian "aggression" — and the fact of overwhelming Russian military force along the border. On Aug. 6, the separatists fired on several Georgian villages, Georgian officials said. The Russian Defense Ministry and South Ossetian officials say that Georgians provoked the escalation by shelling Russian peacekeeping positions in the region's capital of Tskhinvali, along with civilian areas. The Georgians said the separatists stepped up their shelling. Foreign Minister Eka Tkeshelashvili of Georgia called Mr. Fried and told him that her country was under attack, and that Georgia had to protect its people. Mr. Fried, according to a senior administration official, told the Georgian not to go into South Ossetia. The Georgians moved in on Aug. 7.

![]() | Bush Double Take Bush Double ... and the Cuban Missile Crisis? In response to story 12/11/07 on CNN of President Bush' White House spokesperson, Dana Perino's "exaggeration" of not knowing what the Cuban Missile Crisis was....by way of introduction, this image of President Bush's double from that era. Enrique Peralta Azurdia, defense Minister of Guatemalan President, Miguel Ydigoras Fuentes (1958-1963). Know as a Bay of Pigs Figure, Ydigoras allowed the US to train Cuban exiles in Guatemala for the invasion of Cuba and to build an airstrip in Guatemala. However, rarely is mention made of Ydigoras' role in the safety of the Americans on the US' Eastern Seaboard in bringing the Soviet presence to light. Usually, the r.a.p., rapid aerial photography of the U2 is lauded. Even the US born Ydigoras grandchildren would say good night to each other with a sing song, "sleep with the Angels" "you too" 'thank you". Yet seldom when there is a sigh of relief on thinking of what might have happened in '62 does anyone think of Ydigoras. In Ydigoras' writings, introduced by former US Assistant Secretary of State, Adolf Berle, Ydigoras states, "Guatemala had officially advised the United States government of the rapidly mounting threat of aggression from Cuba, and the existence of the Soviet bases." "We have a well-organized espionage system in Cuba. It is sometimes disrupted by the capture of some agent but it always gets back into operation. Through this source of operations we were able to confirm the existence of three types of missile platforms, four different types of rockets, fields for long distance and jet planes, and submarine bases and underground submarine shelters on the Cuban coasts." "At four o'clock on the afternoon of October 16, 1962, six days before President Kennedy declared the embargo, the United States Ambassador, John O. Bell, and Colonel Norman W. Geron, Chief of the United States Military Mission to Guatemala, came to my office, and conferred with Foreign Minister Jesus Unda Murillo and myself." "I informed my visitors that I had sufficient evidence to be convinced that there were nuclear weapons in Cuba, placed there by Russia." "Pursuant to our commitments with the Organization of American States, the Guatemalan Ambassador to that Organization, Dr. Carlos Urrutia, directed a memorandum to the president of the council, informing him of the conference." What President Bush's double went on to do to President Ydigoras is ..."Well, my fellow Americans..." as R.Reagan was fond of saying yet another tale for later telling by this former Reagan W.H. Writer. As to Dana Perino and Anderson Cooper's comments of the Cuban Missile Crisis being associated with the Bay of Pigs... Ms. Perino is probably well aware that the 2000 Florida vote was pivotal to President Bush's election, Florida's Latino population votes Republican as a result of the Bay of Pigs unlike the majority of the non-Florida Latino voters who traditionally vote Democrat. Presidents, Dwight D. Eisenhower and Miguel Ydigoras, "Mike & Ike", worked together in preparation for the Bay of Pigs Invasion, the last minute reversal by JFK is reason President G. W. Bush was elected as it is why traditionally Democrat leaning Latinos nationally, lean overwhelmingly Republican in Florida. (as a statesman, ydigoras was also a delegate to the 1919 Paris Peace Conference for the drafting of the Treaty of Versailles, founding member of the League of Nations, GT ambassador to the United Kingdom, ... Ms. Perino may be aware as well of the Guatemalan "sway" vote at the UN 60 years ago as that vote may have been mentioned at the Annapolis Conference on Nov. 29, the Eve of the 60th Anniversary of the UN Resolution of the Palestinian Partition which allowed the modern State of Israel to be formed.) alt. title for above J.

![]() | LDS Church Elder James E. Faust - Funeral Part 1 of 5 http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=z3Zsvml57PE is a video describing how to learn more about the Mormon Church. President James E. Faust, second counselor in the First Presidency of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints (LDS Church), died at his home August 10, 2007 surrounded by his family. President Faust, 87, had served in the First Presidency since 1995 and as a General Authority of the Church for 35 years. An LDS Church statement today said that President Faust had died of "causes incident to age." President Faust was appointed second counselor in the First Presidency of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints on 12 March 1995. The First Presidency is the highest presiding body in the government of the Church . He had previously served four years as an Assistant to the Twelve (the Quorum of the Twelve Apostles is the second-highest presiding body) before being appointed a member of the presidency of the First Quorum of the Seventy (other senior leaders in the Church) on 1 October 1976. His current assignments include vice chairman of the Church Board of Education; the board of trustees of Brigham Young University; the Welfare Services Executive Committee; and Deseret Management Corporation. Bruce Olsen, managing director of Church Public Affairs, said this morning that President Faust's "gentle manner and depth of knowledge, which was an important part of his ministry for nearly 35 years, will be missed." "He was a true Christian who spoke and wrote with wit and wisdom," Olsen said. "Many members of the Church loved his unique way of teaching the restored gospel of Jesus Christ at General Conference." Olsen said that Church members around the world are calling to extend to President Faust's family their heartfelt condolences. President Faust was born 31 July 1920, in Delta, Utah. He participated as a member of the University of Utah track team in 1938 and ran the quarter-mile and mile relay. His college career was interrupted first to serve as a missionary for the Church in Brazil and later by World War II, during which he served in the U.S. Army Air Force and was discharged as a first lieutenant. In 1948 he graduated from the University of Utah with a bachelor's and Juris Doctor degree. He began the practice of law in Salt Lake City and continued until his appointment as a general authority of the Church in 1972. He served as a member of the Utah Legislature from 1949 to 1951, as an advisor to the American Bar Journal, and president of the Utah Bar Association in 1962-1963. U.S. He received the Distinguished Lawyer Emeritus Award from the Utah Bar Association in 1995. In August of 1997, he received an Honorary Doctors Degree of Christian Service from Brigham Young University. He was honored as a Distinguished Alumni at the University of Utah in 1999, and was awarded the Honorary Order of the Coif at Brigham Young University in 2000. In 2002, he was given the Marion G. Romney Distinguished Service Award by Brigham Young University Law School, and he was awarded an Honorary Doctors of Law degree by the University of Utah. President John F. Kennedy appointed him to the Lawyers' Committee for Civil Rights in 1962. In 1998 President Faust received a Brazilian national citizenship award — an honor given to only a select few world leaders — and was awarded honorary citizenship of the city of Sao Paulo. Married to the former Ruth Wright of Salt Lake City, they are the parents of two daughters and three sons. They have 25 grandchildren and 28 great-grandchildren.
