Former US military chief Admiral Mike Mullen initially said that he did not know the man who claimed to have delivered him a message from President Asif Ali Zardari nor did he recall receiving any correspondence from him.However, when asked about the memo referred to in the Financial Times column, Captain John Kirby, who was Mullens spokesman until the admiral stepped down earlier this year, said Mullen initially had no recollection of such a memo but was later able to track it down.Neither the contents of the memo nor the proof of its existence altered or affected in any way the manner in which Adm. Mullen conducted himself in his relationship with Gen. Kayani and the Pakistani government, Kirby said. He did not find it at all credible and took no note of it.
