The Nation article controversy

Any comments how to accommodate this into the bio? This needs to be trimmed and well sourced. --Saqib (talk) 10:16, 4 March 2017 (UTC)[reply]

The Nation published a front page article ("Journalists as spies in FATA?"

Robert James Thomson wrote to Mazari^[2] soon after the Rosenberg article appeared. Wall Street Journal’s Daniel Pearl, kidnapped and killed in 2002, was labelled a Jewish spy in a similar manner by some sections of Pakistani media. Twenty-one international news editors from Islamabad’s foreign correspondent community also signed a letter^[3]

of protest, criticizing the unsubstantiated article for compromising Matt Rosenberg's security.

In a television interview regarding the incident, Mazari strongly defended her story. On 20 November 2009, "The Nation" published yet another front page story

wrote^[5] to Shireen Mazari on 21 November 2009. Both Rosenberg and Berahulak have left Pakistan.^[6]
