Pakistan Muslim League leader: Release of CIA contractor a "national tragedy"
The Pakistan Muslim League-Nawaz (PML-N) is so-called because its leader is former prime minister Nawaz Sharif. The party is "struggling for a peaceful world for a humane and socially just society with equal opportunities for all in light of the universal principles of Islam." Here, it expresses that ever-present source of Muslim rage, the feeling of humiliation in the wake of the blood-money (paid by whom?) release of CIA contractor Raymond Davis.

Islamabad, March 18 : The Pakistan Muslim League-Nawaz (PML-N) has said the release of CIA security contractor Raymond Davis was a "national tragedy".
"The bargaining conducted by the federal government will be remembered as national tragedy in the country's history," the PML-N Leader of Opposition, Chaudhry Nisar Ali Khan was quoted as saying by The News International.
Davis, 36, shot dead two Pakistanis on a motorcycle in Lahore Jan 27 in what he described as an attempted armed robbery. He claimed he acted in self-defence.
A court in Lahore Wednesday acquitted Davis after he reportedly paid compensation to the kin of the dead.
"They (the government) have sold the dignity of the nation only to save a foreign national," Khan said.
Khan asked those who took "such a big decision" to show moral courage and accept their responsibility before the nation.
He said the days of the rulers, who have no sincerity in national interest, were numbered, and that the PML-N would launch a protest in parliament against Davis's release.
"They have put national interest at stake," he said....
