Washing his hands, like Pontius Pilate: This is what Dean Boyd, spokesman of the U.S. Central Intelligence Agency (CIA), did. Two days ago, he refused to confirm if the man reported to be the CIA station chief in Islamabad by political party Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) was the same one who took part in the criminal drone war that kills “terrorists” and innocent children alike.

Special attention was given to a powerful news agency, which demonstrated “journalistic objectivity” in its information on the case: “The Associated Press cannot publish the name leaked by political party Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf because it has been unable to check its authenticity.” Both The Washington Post and The New York Times did the same in order to “protect the life of an undercover agent and his family.”

On Wednesday, PTI’s secretary of information, Shirin Mazari, asked that Craig Osth, CIA station chief in Pakistan, and the head of this espionage and dirty war agency, John Brennan, be tried for murder. She pointed out that both of them had started the drone war against Pakistan and specifically mentioned the attack on a madrasa on Nov. 21 in Hangu district, in the northwestern province of Khyber Pakhtunkhwa. This attack killed and injured many people, including children, although the American authorities and some Pakistani intelligence officers declared that only five Afghan militiamen had died, the sub-head of one of the “most dangerous” groups fighting against the American forces in Afghanistan among them.

The accusation included another fact: Craig Osth resides and operates from the U.S. embassy in Islamabad, which is a clear violation of diplomatic regulations and international laws. A foreign mission within a sovereign state cannot be used as headquarters for criminal activities.
