Husain Haqqani Got Paid To Write Against Pakistani Military

Former Pakistan Ambassador to the United States, Husain Haqqani wrote a book in 2005 titled ‘Pakistan between Mosque and Military’which specifically targets Pakistani military and Pakistani nuclear ambitions.  

Husain Haqqani received a $100,000 from Smith Richardson Foundation for writing this book in which he expressed many thoughts similar to the ones reflected in the controversial memo.

In his book, former ambassador wrote,

“Washington must not ignore Pakistan’s state sponsorship of Islamist militants, its pursuit of nuclear weapons and missiles at the expense of education and healthcare, and its refusal to democratize; each of these issues is directly linked to the future of Islamist radicalism.”
