Dear Mr. Rehman Pakistani, 'A moderator for The
Terrorland Group blogs,
This is Gulpari Nazish
Mehsud, the Web Editor of PakNationalists.com and the PakNationalists Mailing
Group. It has come to my notice that you are circulating an email [see
below] where you are accusing what you have described as "a group of ISI agents from the Zaid Hamid/Ahmed Quraishi brigade
are spamming our new group".
It is always better to check with the people you are
naming before dishing out disinformation. It is good ethics and also good
manners.
There is no such thing as "Zaid Hamid/Ahmed Quraishi
brigade'. Mr. Zaid Hamid runs a think tank called BrassTacks.
It has no organizational connection whatsoever with PakNationalists.com and
PakNationalists Mailing Group, which is the platform that Mr. Ahmed Quraishi
works from. I can only speak for PakNationalists.com where I work. Ours is
a think-tank where internees and volunteers join other professionals in
producing articles, commentaries and papers concerning Pakistan's domestic and
foreign policy issues.
We do not have a 'brigade' of anything, and those who
work with us do not indulge in practices such as spamming. I am not aware
of your group that is being spammed, but whatever propblem you are facing in
terms of spamming it is not something that we do or spare time for. We a
group fo educated young Pakistanis, mostly graduates of Pakistani and foreign
universities, who are concerned about our homeland in the face multiple attacks
and character-assassinations it is facing since 2002, and are doing whatever we
can about it within our limited capabilities.
Please avoid immature blanket accusations against us
[PakNationalists Group] or deliberate attempts to defame us. If you have
evidence of someone working with us spamming you in any way, please share that
evidence.
