Kamath:

That I don't know. The contents of the book are of great interest to the media and the public. The publisher must have paid her a bundle.

But I am also inclined to believe that money was not the driving motivation for her to write the book.She and her husband took on the deceitful administration at the risk of their careers and their and their children's lives. She wrote in the book that she had received numerous threats.

Re: # 8
Zeemax:
I do not know the situation in Swat or Jamia Hafsa episode. Since you knowledgeable about opposing view point can you please educate us about the following:

1. How can peace be restored in Waziristan and Swat?

2. If another government building is taken over say the supreme court by pious muslims what should the authorities do?

3. If Sharia is to be implemented, what steps should be taken by the people who implement it?

People like us read the newspapers, see the stories such us Maulana coming on a black horse and then beating barbers first and then closing their shops. Secondly closing the video stores and lastly public beheading of six people.

Maybe all of these stories are wrong. All of us would like to be educated from the perspective of Maulana Fazalullah.

Thanks.

Re: # 19
This article is about Valerie a spy betrayed by some members of her own government. It is not about Pakistani politics. So why not stick to the subject and discuss!
