Husain Haqqani may soon be put on trial for his life in his native Pakistan. That country’s ambassador to the United States until last November, he now faces allegations of treason in the so-called “Memogate” affair, accused of instigating an unsigned memo to the U.S. government warning of a military-coup plot against Pakistan’s government – an allegation he denies . . .

Lately, there has been an exchange of accusations between Rached Ghannouchi, the head of the Tunisian Al-Nahda party, and the Washington Institute for Near East Policy over statements made by Ghannouchi at a Washington Institute seminar on November 30, 2011.
