Musharraf's book-in line of fire

Pakistan's President Pervez Musharraf has acknowledged that he has to revise the contention in his book that the CIA paid prize money to the Government of Pakistan for their cooperation in fighting the global war on terror against the al Qaeda.During an interview with CNN's Wolf Blitzer, the network's anchor referred to Musharraf's argument in The Line of Fire, that 'those who habitually accuse us of not going enough in the war on terror, should simply ask the CIA how much prize money it has paid to the Government of Pakistan?'
Blitzer said the CIA had refused comment on this assertion, but former senior intelligence officials had said no such prize money was paid and that the CIA only give rewards to individuals who help bring high-value terrorists to justice.
Musharraf tried to wriggle out of this corner by saying, "I don't know whether this is to the Government of Pakistan�I don't think I wrote to the Government of Pakistan."
But Blitzer nailed him, saying, it was right there on page 237 that the money was 'paid to the government,' and offered Musharraf an out, asking "You want to revise that?"
Caught off guard, an embarrassed Musharraf responded, "Yes. I think if it is written Government of Pakistan, yes."
Besides General has also admitted use of pakistani army in kargil,that it was a preplanned operation .
Any commnets

It seems he has written if he hadnt participated in the war against terror, America threatened to attack pakistan and send it back to the " Dark Ages". Wonder how US is going to react to that.

Musharraf has contributed "generously" to the so-called "war on terror".
But I believe he will one day meet the same fate of Saddam Hussein in Iraq - if not worse.

Some misconception people have about Pakistan is that it is helping fight the war agaist terrorism. The truth is that they are the ones actually sponcering it. There has not been a single big incident of terrorism in the world where there weren't any Pakistanis involved. And Musharraf is the kind of guy whose word has no meaning. He says something and does something else. The truth about Bin Laden is that he is hiding in Pakistan and in complete protection and care of Pakistani Intelligence agency. Indian Prime Minister Manmohan Singh will raise with the leadership of Britain and the European Union (EU) next week India's concerns over cross-border terrorism in the backdrop of recent evidence that Pakistan's ISI and terror outfits based there were behind the July 11 Mumbai serial blasts.
Pakistan is the biggest enemy in the war against terrorism. It is actually using the funding it receives to fight terrorism for sponcering terrorism in India. But it will take some time for the world to realise.
