Shireen Mazari reminded Mr. Zardari on his mistaken staement on Kashmir. She is a hawk and a super-patriot. Shireen mazari uses her elequence to defend, not malign Pakistan–the mirror image of Mr. Husain Haqqani. The PPP should have fired Mr. Haqqani and replaced him with Ms. Mazari. One sees glimpses of Zulfiqar Ali Bhutto in Shireen Mazari. First it was Foreign secretary Riaz Muhammad Khan. Now it is Shireen Mazari. Zulfiqar Ali Bhutto was also fired from Ayub Khan’s cabinet because the US president of the time did not like him. It is sad to see that today, the same PPP is complaint to the wishes of Washington to such an extent that the smallest voice of dissent is silenced.

- Shireen Mazari the new Editor of “The Nation” and TV host on Waqt TV
One of Pakistan’s most prolific writers and strategic thinkers was fired this week under pressure from the USA. Mr. Husain Haqqani, the Neocon Ambassador of Pakistan to the USA may have been instrumental in first identifying and then getting Shireen Mazari removed from her position as Director General of the Institute of Strategic Studies International, an Islamabad based think tank.
Do Mr. Haqqani and Mr. Zardari the great harbingers of “free speech” and “democracy” believe that by firing Ms. Mazari, they can stifle the vocices of sanity? If they really believe so, they are worng, dead wrong. Perhaps they should read Zulfiqar Ali Bhutto’s “The myth of independence.” That book was published during the dictatorship of Field Marshall Ayub Khan.

Ms. Mazari is expected to write free lance and get a wider audience.

The removal of stalwart and patriotic Pakistanis from positions of power will create a greater backlash against American interests in Pakistan.
ISSI DG Shireen Mazari removed
ISLAMABAD: The government on Wednesday removed Institute of Strategic Studies Islamabad (ISSI) Director General Dr Shireen Mazari ahead of the end of her contract in August 2009.
According to sources, former foreign secretary Tanvir Ahmad Khan may replace her.
Talking to Daily Times, Khan said the government had offered him four positions including Dr Mazari’s post. He said if formally asked to run the ISSI he would make it a think tank. Dr Mazari likened her removal to the sacking of former Foreign secretary Riaz Muhammad Khan. She claimed the United States government had influenced her removal as she was writing hard-hitting articles highlighting US intervention in internal Pakistani affairs.
