Memogate

After all, the performance that Mansoor Ijaz has put in as the star witness has been so bizarre and underwhelming that the possibility that Mr Haqqani is in serious legal jeopardy has almost evaporated. Mr Ijazs penchant for making an outrageous allegation one day and then quietly suggesting he isnt sure of its veracity the next has shredded his credibility to the point of nothingness. The latest bizarre claim that Mr Ijaz came up with under cross-examination on Sunday was that Mr Haqqani was dreaming of becoming the president of Pakistan with the help of the US

when Mansoor Ijaz, the man at the centre of the controversy, again refused to come to Pakistan saying he feared he would be assassinated
During the cross-examination, Mr Haqqani joined his counsel at Pakistani High Commission in London. He told the commission that despite efforts he could not get data of his phone from the telephone company. Mr Haqqani said he did not remember the PIN number of his BlackBerry handset because it was changed when he got another set. Surprisingly, he got an unexpected support from Mr Ijaz, who said it was a difficult process to retrieve data and lost PIN number.
