The Pakistani Neo Con?
Farrukh Saleem describes our man in Washington DC:
He was a member of Islami Jamiat Talba. He has been Far Eastern Economic Review's correspondent covering Pakistan and Afghanistan. He has been an adviser to prime ministers Mustafa Jatoi, Nawaz Sharif and Benazir Bhutto. He contributed to Voice of America radio and was a syndicated columnist for the 'The Indian Express', 'Daily Star' and 'Gulf News'. He has been the director of the Institute for International Relations at Boston University and the co-director of the Hudson Institute's Project on the Future of the Muslim World. He is articulate, prolific, and at 52, still considers himself a ladies man.
What he skips or omits from the CV of this brilliant self-made man is the very serious allegations that Mr Hussain Haqqani is a neo-con. If true, that would be a 180 degree turn from the Jamiat origin.
With his "credentials" Mr Haqqani could also aim to replace the diminutive Ms. Patterson as the Foggy Bottom's man in Islamabad. Miracles do not cease to happen. But don't hold your breadth over this.
