Pakistan: 'Memogate' scandal deepens as American accuser threatens to tell all'

"The controversial American businessman at the centre of the "Memogate" scandal threatening to bring down the government ofPakistan has told the Guardian he plans to fly into the country to tell what he describes as the "unaltered truth" before the courts.
The allegations made by Mansoor Ijaz reach all the way up to President Asif Zardari, and could end up with treason charges against the country's former US ambassador, Husain Haqqani, or even the president himself. But critics say that the charges are a fantastical and thinly-veiled attempt by the military to hound the government from power, aided by the hostile courts that have taken up the case with alacrity."
