Now that we have more than a few isolated people with sense of duty and conscience in the right places, we are not worried about getting information about this, that or the other report. What interests us most now Mr Minister is action, sir, action! ('Information' is intentionally excluded from your title, sir!), won't you tell us no won't you inform us when would you start acting on the recommendations made in such reports?
Now that the whole world knows about it, well release the report properly and with dignity.
Its too late to release the Abbottabad Commison Report but ++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ Surely there are other unleaked reports that may be released...eg the one on Shahzad....
why this drama now,when the report has been already out for a while now?
Its rather late, Sir ! The cat's already out of the bag here ! The Global Community have already had opportunity to not read but absorb the a rather a Lame Report prepared not for real findings but for posterity ! Rest assure the World is not stupid, and now have another issue as to Pakistan's actual commitment to anything it says, as it simply can not be taken on face value ! As this Nation simply does not like facing the facts, hence no face value ! Save this report for Local Consumption, as the rest of the world already know the facts.
Does not matter that there are so many self contradictions in your statement.People understand the hardships faced by an information minister,while speaking for his/her government
On face of it.....Good decision...Go for it
Thank you, you can keep it safely whereever it is, we know and not very pleased by what we already know about you all and your failings.
