woahh!!

this is controversial:

"Are the left and the military bedfellows in Pakistan then? For starters, here’re the most basic clues. The SDPI gets its funding from the Ford Foundation. The martial President’s son is a US citizen, as is his new hand-picked Prime Minister. Hmm, only the most naive would fail to see the link that connects (and feeds) the supposedly opposite sides of the political spectrum in the country."

from the same oxtolk page mentioned earlier.

I really respected the guy who runs the SDPI and lots of very respected people respect him too. So this is a bit of a shock. Sure it’s speculative, but what if? At the very least, what if the SDPI is cynically using the money for its, higher, ends. Come to think of it, how influential is the SDPI and what does it do in reality, apart from publishing reams and reams of reports?
