Ví dụ
Watching the finance committee on-line, it's clear that the staff rolls over the council members who show up to play footsie with them.
“We are not going to allow you to play footsie with the DG (director-general) and allow you to protect each other… This is why it’s hard for names to come out. In every instance, the DGs name is crossed out… This kind of dishonesty makes me sick to the pit of my stomach.”
The sudden and mysterious escape of Ehsanullah Ehsan, a former spokesman of Tehrik-i-Taliban Pakistan and later Jamaat-ul-Ahrar, clearly indicates how the security agencies play footsie with terrorists. The man involved in the attack on Malala Yusufzai and numerous killings surrendered after negotiating a deal with the military establishment and there is complete silence on the government’s part on how such a high-prized terrorist can escape from under the nose of the security agencies.
