Yeah, right. Like we have been coming to know about the fact and fiction for the last 66 years. If any report at all is prepared by the judicial commission which is slightly against ISI, it will be made confidential in the name "national security" (whatever the hell that means). Eventually, some other country's media will release the report, as usual. (Hamood-ur-Rehman report, Abbotabad report etc.)

Army is a defence institute at the very first place. Yes some pseudo and half-baked "intellectuals" like Ayesha Jalal try to portray Pak Army as a corporation running its operations and earning money by the virtue of their might and status in Pakistan. The one who has any doubt should consider scores of lives sacrificed by our army in defence of Pakistan. It is shameless to malign our defence institutes in such a critical time. Considering the regional situation and history, a powerful army is need of Pakistan. Just compare its performance and budget with those of Indian Army. You will realize where our army stands. ISI is the first line of defence of Pakistan and if someone tries to make it weaker he is just aiding our enemies.
As far as Hamid Mir's case is concerned, the role of GEO has been very detrimental for our national interest. It is the court that will decide who is real culprit. But the lot of anchorpersons of GEO think that they themselves are chief justice here and they DEMAND resignation of DG ISI to clear himself before their courts. It is ridiculous, isn't? Imagine just imagine one of the best intelligence agencies of the world could not get rid of one journalist.
GEO should be banned and if PEMRA does not do it...Pakistanis themselves should stop watching this channel.
