And now - AGAIN - Pakistan, the only country producing results, gets this from us. Everything we now touch - DANGEROUS. This story is from the BBC - the quote marks around "war on terror" are theirs.
Pakistan protests over US stingWe're about to fucrew that up royally. Still want to try to defend all this? We dare you.
Pakistan has protested to the United States over what it says was an FBI sting operation involving a fake plot to kill Pakistan's UN envoy.
Islamabad called the operation bizarre and mind-boggling.
A spokesman said it had endangered the life of Munir Akram, Pakistan's permanent envoy to the United Nations.
Pakistani foreign ministry spokesman Masood Khan asked why the US authorities had not picked an American "target" instead.
"It is mind-boggling why they could not use the name of an American functionary," he told a news conference.
"This technique and methodology is tantamount to auto-suggestion and could have endangered the life of our ambassador," he said.
Pakistan has been a close ally of the US in its "war on terror".
