Boucher bows lowBy: Hero Vaz | 14-Jan-2009 Reply | Forward Boucher is, indeed, shameless for accepting an award from the sponsors of world terrorism. It is surprising he does not see it as an insult. Maybe, his background is the answer.

BOUCHER BRIBED ???By: ANIYAN | 05-Jan-2009 Reply | Forward IT IS SENSIBLE IF THE OUTGOING AMERICAN PRESIDENT OR THE STATE SECRETARY IS CONFERRED WITH THIS AWARD. BOUCHER IS A LESS KNOWN STATE DEPT OFFICIAL, WHO WENT TO PAKISTAN NOT TO RECEIVE THE AWARD AS THERE WAS NO SUCH PREVIOUS ANNOUNCEMENT. HE WENT THERE TO HOLD DISCUSSION WITH THEM ON THE WORLD'S COMPLAINT OF PAKISTAN'S DIRECT INVOLVEMENT IN THE TERROR ATTACK IN MUMBAI IN WHICH 190 INNOCENT LIVES WERE LOST. AT THIS OCCASSION IF THAT COUNTRY IF CONFERRING AN AWARD ON HIM AND HE IS ACCEPTING IT, IT IS NOTHING LESS THAN A BRIBE. PAKISTANI LEADERS, THE BRIBE HERO (MR.10%, AS HIS OWN COUNTRY CALL HIM) PRESIDENT ZARDARI AND OTHERS WILL BE LAUGHING AT BOUNCHER TO HAVE MADE HIM A FOOL AND RETURNING HIM EMPTY HANDED WITHOUT COMPLETING HIS TASK, FOR WHICH HE WAS DEPUTED BY THE AMERICAN GOVT.
