| Thomas Simons | “And Benazir always felt that I kicked her out because we had an inflammatory meeting in the spring of that year over the gas pipeline project, from Turkmenistan to Pakistan, that was being promoted by Unocal, the American oil company. And we were supporting that. They had a memorandum of understanding from the Turkmen and the Afghans supporting this project. And I went to her office on a very bad day for her I urged her to authorize Pakistani signature of this memorandum of understanding, which would give the seal of approval of the three governments for this pipeline. And she said, "Well, I couldn't possibly do that because that would be a breach of contract." Well, the only contract that she could possibly have been talking about was a contract between her husband and the Argentine competitor for this pipeline project, Carlos Bulgheroni. And I said, "Well, what you just said sounds like extortion." But after Leghari fired her in November of 1996 and she started her election campaign, I sent our Consul General in Karachi, Doug Archard, in to see her. And he sat there and listened to her tirade about how unjustly she'd been treated and how it was all a conspiracy. He took notes, and then walked out without saying anything on behalf of the U.S.” | Thomas Simons | July 2004 |
