This is what I keep asking myself. Why is Carrie willing to go to such extreme measures to reveal what's said on the blackbox. It changes absolutely nothing for all parties involved.

It would show that Haqqani did not kill the President and is just a little mouthy piss ant about it. His credibility would be hurt badly once it’s shown he’s a fraud. And it would prevent a massive unnecessary war between Pakistan and the US because the rush to war is based on a lie, which would be exposed by the flight recorder. Moreover, nuclear war would be prevented as Pakistan has said it would use nuclear weapons against the US. Finally, it would clear Carrie’s name; she’s charged as an accessory and conspirator to murder the president.

He didn’t. Saul asked for any low priority target to buy time and the Paks gave him one.

We flexed our muscle and took out the terrorist organization that car bombed our men.

We haven’t done that at all. And even if we invaded Pakistan, which is a country of more than 100M people I think from memory without looking it up, we wouldn’t take out terrorism there. It’s an endless non winnable war.

3. Pakistan relations are repaired.

They can be repaired by not going to war with them over a lie.
