Times Square bombing suspect by Claudia Sonea

Could a whole country be tagged as being paranoid or just its representatives? After beating around the bush for almost a week, the US Attorney General final uttered what the US government wanted: the Pakistani Taliban is responsible for the last week’s failed car bomb in New York's Times Square. It doesn’t even matter that in the official statement the predominant adverb was the hypothetical “probably” that contrasted with the certitude verb “know”. The US investigators stated that they are developing evidence that Taliban staged the attack. First of all, they should find out evi! dence, not develop proofs out of nothing which sounds more like fabricating evidence. Then, if they know the Taliban helped with the attack, why are they unsure whether they financed it or directed it. The suspect arrested on Monday, Faisal Shahzad, the son of a Pakistani air force officer, was more of a lone wolf without any direct link to Pakistan, as they very well confessed, so why would they jump to the conclusion that Taliban requested him to do anything? Finally, the biggest question that remains, is why would the Pakistani Taliban deny involvement, when they should have been the first one denouncing the attack? All the questions are just rhetorical as no one will ever bother to find an answer to them. As Clinton declared, there will be severe sanctions if the link between Faisal and Taliban is proved to be true. The link has not been proved yet, but the United States is already pressuring Pakistan to begin a military offensive in North! Waziristan that is supposedly the stronghold of Al-Qaeda and ! the Paki stani Taliban. Most probably, all immigrants from Pakistan will have to fulfil tougher conditions to enter US and even tougher if they want to get US citizenship.
