There is an interesting story in Foreign Policy today about the Ijaz memo.

The story states that after initially stating he had not received such a memo, Mr. Mullen has now recalled that he did get the memo. He didn't judge that it was of any importance though so he says he didn't pass it on.

The chairman of the JCS gets a memo from a businessman who was apparently well connected, purporting to speak for the civilian part of the Pakistan gov, offering to jettison part of the ISI and he didn't pass it on.

I am a mere flyover person and a forever civilian to boot, but I do not believe Mr. Mullen is being forthright.
