Well, that doesn't come as a surprise. A man who has handed out thousands of Visa's to malicious foreign secretive agents can obviously do a lot of harm.

They have looted the whole country, but for us it takes decades to come to this realization. Even then some of us are in denial.

The Americans are using him as their propaganda tool against Pakistan. Makes little difference to Pakistan, but this guy has done a lot of harm to national interests. Therefore he is not just some pety criminal. He belongs in the top tier.

There's no provision in U.S. law that I know of to allow that, nor do I think executive authority could extend that far.

It does seem clear that there's no chance to extradite H.H. for two reasons: one, the statute of limitations, and two, the fact the secret service funds were almost certainly (by definition) at his legal discretion as ambassador (on-the-spot head-of-state, so to speak) and thus there's no legal grounds for dispute, only political.

He's just part of the same greedy ruling class that also pretends to be liberal when they fall out with their fellow greedy elite in Pakistan.

Interesting, some random person tweeted something which clearly got nothing to do with memogate trying to somehow connect to it, and you picked on it!

Case was mishandled...he probably paid people in Pakistan to deliberately ruin the case

Why the hell did we even applied for his extradition by quoting a political case..it shoild have been above straight farword..now he is going to enjoy his life with 8m dollars

 

[Abdussamad]

Nice! Looks like he made out big time and is living happily in the US.

Who knows if the charges of embezzlement against Husain Haqqani are true or not. The SC considers him an absconder and when he refused to return voluntarily, embezzlement charges were filed to facilitate his extradition via Interpol. But Interpol saw the charges for what they are, political, and refuse to issue the warrants.

The chances of getting Haqqani back is waning by the day. Haqqani's wife is a US citizen, and it's only a matter of time Husain Haqqani acquires it too, if he doesn't have it already.
