In reading the Balochistan Pakistani legislation one imagines a well-intentioned foreign advisor emailing a well-drafted document to a group of well-educated politicians in advance of her trip to defend her work and, during the flight to Pakistan to review the text with her client, arriving to find her document mildly disturbed with the introduction of "minor amendments" the consequence of which is to completely undermine the security of title she sought to embed in her workl. After trying for several days to move her audience, only to see that more discussion results in the concept of foreigners having to declare their innocence from the "espionage" trade, she retreats to her New York apartment resting on the comfort that the opportunity remains for the foreign investor to negotiate a specific mining agreement and avoid the hooks and snags now showing in her work. Thus reads the Balochistan mining code.
