You scratch my back, I'll scratch yours
Two totally unrelated developments between the Pakistani government and the World Bank.
Pakistan conferred the "Hilal-e-Pakistan" award (Moon of Pakistan, I think) on World Bank chief James Wolfensohn, who is currently visiting Pakistan. Coincidentally, a "neutral" expert was appointed to review Pakistan's complaint over the Baglihar dam issue with India, replacing one of Indian origin. Pakistan's obsession with things neutral extends to writing to the ICC about umpiring in Australia as well as asking for the UN to intervene in the issue of Jammu & Kashmir's status within the Indian nation.
If this isnt a blatant case of an attempt to influence a decision through corruption, point me to something worse. No, you are not allowed to mention the BCCI's decisions on choosing venues, awarding contracts or selecting players.
