Haqqani's stint in the US comes to an end

He was highly criticised at home over the Kerry-Lugar-Berman aid legislation, accused of granting visa’s easily to ‘CIA spies’ and has also faced the heat in Washington over the US raid that killed Osama Bin Laden.
He resigned today over a secret memo that was leaked, asking the United States for direct intervention in stopping the Pakistan army. – Photos by Agencies.

Good that his stint has ended. Now it will also be good if he goes back and settles in his country.

I do not know the contents of Haqqani's letter of resignation. I believe Haqqani's act of asking a foreign governments intervention in the internal affairs of his own country merits his trial under treason and treachery. Simple acceptance of his resignation is not proper remedy.
