Tasman Whitewash

摘要

Only days after an EU delegation left Pakistan having appealed for the release of the Tasman Spirit's crew, the results of the official inquiry have been leaked. The minister has found himself and his appointees blameless of the disaster. Pakistan's minister of communications Ahmed Ali has amply fulfilled the low expectations we had of him. His department's official inquiry into the grounding of Tasman Spirit, leaked earlier this week, is a shameless whitewash worthy of a Fairplay front cover. Although his face displaces the chicken originally intended for that spot, we feel that his moral cowardice means there is some continuity between our planned front cover and the final design.
