Medals of Freedom for Justice Chaudary

Of course he is going to get the Medal of "Freedom". The entire CJ crisis was manufactured by the US using the Pakistan Army to put pressure on their peon out of favor, Musharraf. The lawyers movement that emerged out of it was very real. Therefore when Musharraf was willing to sit as civilian president, and give up the uniform after US pressure to negotiate with the BB, the CJ's office let his election go ahead and declared the objections "umanageable". The lawyers recognized this farce and got beaten up as a result. Damage control was then performed by the CJs office by issuing verdicts against the police officers involved. When US/Musharraf fallout occurred on Nov 3, by declaration of emergency which was declared not to save any civilian presidency of the dictator but to save his uniform, because without the uniform he has no power whatsoever, the CJ became a bearer of "freedom" again. The fool is no hero, he would hop to on the Musharraf bandwagon, were it not for the US backing (Pak Army) backing him up during the so-called crisis. The only positive coming out of the entire episode was the lawyer's movement.

Medals are at times given for consideration of a specific time period of high importance and what the individual has done during that time period. This Medal of Freedom which is being rebuked by this author is clearly in lieu of the the currrent crisis and Chief Justice’s resistance to the Musharraf regime. Highlighting period of 2000-2005 when clearly the award may have not even considered that period is pointless. And Harvard Law School is not bothered by much what CJ has done during his entire lifespan.
Regarding Nadeem being critical thinker, now that is funny. He is radical and controversial. Is that critical? I am at times amazed at the way, he “selects” supporting evidence to prove his points and puts an amazing spin to justify apparently impausible views. I have pointed out several contradictions in the interact section when his last article “Cholosterol say Pak” appeared.

Stupid article.

You say:
"Symbols should be clearly differentiated from individuals. When people make a figure into a symbol, most of the time, the figure can't live up to that image, and in fact..."

Stop the B. S.

Thank you.

There is hope. There are critical thinkers like yourself and Nadeem out there.

Good article.
