bcglorfsays...So many emotions. Overall, I think this is the first time I've felt really disappointed with one of Jon's interviews. I know Jon's time is limited and it's tough to have background coming into every interview, but interviewing Musharraf is a crazy big deal right now. Some point form places I wanted Jon jumping in and instead he just took what Musharraf said at face value.
-Musharraf insists that any sympathy for Al Qaeda within the ISI and military is strictly limited to isolated low level dissenters, and in no way associated with higher up decision makers. Jon accepts this as though correct. Hamid Gul, former head of the ISI, is on video declaring that all good Muslims should hope for the defeat of America and the victory of the Taliban. Elected members of Pakistan's Legislature from the JUI-F party spoke out insisting that the ISI and military MUST have known about Osama's location, and condemned the failure to protect him as the muslim hero that he was... The reality is that extremism reaches into the very highest ranks of Pakistan's power structures, and that Musharraf vehemently denies this demands the question be asked, why is he denying such an enormous problem exists?
-Musharraf denies that the ISI killed the journalist that was revealing their ties with Al Qaeda, and does it by stating that's not how the ISI would kill someone. Jon chuckles. Either Jon's balls are 10 times the size of mine, or he had forgotten he was sitting across from the man how spent very many years ordering those kinds of assassinations to be made by the ISI...
