Another
foreign journalist was “outed" in Pakistan on Friday. A
front-page story in the November 20 edition of the daily newspaper The Nation ran the picture of an
unidentified journalist at the scene of a bomb blast in Peshawar, identifying him as a CIA spy. He
was actually Daniel Berehulak, who works for the international photography agency Getty Images.
Hugh Pinney, Getty’s senior director of photography, wrote to the paper’s editor, Shireen Mazari on Saturday, setting the record
straight. A PDF of the full letter is here, but here’s what is most likely the most salient part:
“He is not an employee of the CIA and has never pursued any agenda other than,
as a photographer, to capture important moments and events on camera for
historic record.”
