Summary Mansoor Ijaz has said James Jones is a friend but he differs with some of points in his affidavit.
Mansoor Ijaz in a statement said that he disagrees with Gen James Jones on a number of the points he raises in his affidavit submitted in the Supreme Court of Pakistan on December 12.On December 12, 2011, Gen. James L. Jones issued an Affidavit to the Supreme Court of Pakistan in which he, to the best of his knowledge, information and belief, tried to recall the events of May 9, 10 and 11 of this year, which are the dates on which Amb. Husain Haqqani, Pakistans former ambassador to the United States, asked me to assist him in delivering a message that he dictated to me and whose content originated entirely from him to Admiral Mike Mullen, then chairman of the US Joint Chiefs of Staff. Gen. Jones was the individual who I asked to deliver Haqqanis message to the admiral.He said Gen. Jones and I have known each other since 2006. I consider him a friend and have learned many valuable lessons from him during the five years weve known each other.But in the case of his recollections with regard to this matter, I have a friendly disagreement with him on a number of the points he raises in his affidavit. I think Jones forgot the exact dates as had forgotten about delivering memo to Admiral Mike Mullen.Ijaz reiterated his claim that the content of the Memorandum to Adm. Mike Mullen originated entirely from Husain Haqqani. He dictated it to me and was responsible for all key edits.
