All the Pakistani papers, except one, who published the fake leaks have now apologized.

Interesting that Ahmed Qureshi hypes the fake cable story by defending it as based on an actual Daily Mail report bylined by 'mysterious' authors such as Suzie Wang (Washington?), Christina Palmer ( who according to an earlier article by Qureshi, may actually have been suspected spy Madhuri Gupta with a pseudonym), et al.
