It might be a good gesture, but we hope their any unfinished prison term will be served in Pakistan jails. Wrong doing is a wrong doing. What we all should understand is that if we go to a foreign country we must always obey the laws of the land, however harsh they may be, one feels.

They are the main drug smugglers, it is very simple to completely have this problem desolved if this President really needs.

This is all well and good but how and why is this a priority for the new government? There are so many of our own innocent citizens languishing in our jails without a trial, proof of wrong doing or access to justice. Charity begins at home, they say. Let us hope that these hollow gestures are not an integral part of our new foreign relations building in exchange for some stale rice and spices. Priorities, AKD, priorities!!!
