What if the conspiracy theorists are correct?

Letter March 21, 2012
Writer mentions one conspiracy theory about presence of Blackwater, but has not provided evidence.

ISLAMABAD: This is with reference to Nadir Hassan’s article “What if the conspiracy theorists are correct?” (March 20). The writer has argued with a complete lack of verifiable evidence that the “US did indeed have a lot of private security contractors working in the shadows”. In addition, the writer must be the only ill-informed journalist, who till 2007 thought drones to be “robot flying saucers”, three years after the first drone strike occurred. The writer has mentioned only one conspiracy theory about the presence of the Blackwater, but has not provided evidence that its presence in Pakistan is a fact and not merely a conspiracy theory.
