That is when Al Pacino gives him the confidence that he was not seeking revenge but that asking him to believe the lie that he was innocent was basically an insult to his intelligence. When a nation’s intelligence agencies are in the business of insulting the citizens’ intelligence, that is when small problems accentuate to levels where national unity is threatened. The insult of the nation’s intelligence continues at the time of this writing. Ramming down the nation’s throat the most artificial realities and the lies to go with would only weaken this nation. The outcome and the realities of Pakistanis wouldn’t change with it but at least the nation’s intelligence wouldn’t be insulted.
