This chronic retreat into denial by Pakistan is to relieve internal aggitation.

Pakistani President Asif Ali Zardari has said there is still no firm proof that gunmen who attacked the Indian city of Mumbai came from Pakistan.
In the video by BBC there is a strong insistence the 'players' in the terrorist attacks that were successful and those trumped by Interpol primarily originated in Pakistan. We know this is the case, we also know there is a new government in Pakistan. To that end, the Pakistani government is a bit compelled to investigate all possibilities regarding the British reality.
It is my belief, from the instant Danny Peril was kidnapped, that Pakistan has a well established terrorist underground lasting decades. That degree of entrenchment isn't going to be irradicated instantly if the citizens of Pakistan are to survive the outcome and the sovereignty of that country remain intact.
It was a bit disheartening to realize India was preparing an attack into Pakistan based upon the Mumbai incident, however, India has sustained a good deal of damage to its infrastructure and citizens that demand relief.
Realizing that and recognizing the escalating efforts against Europe by the terrorists of this region, noted recently in France, there really is no other path except to insist this incident is never repeated and the terrorist networks that have become 'cozy' in Pakistan be irradicated in whichever methodology seems to work best.

Police say Ansari was trained by Lashkar-e-Taiba, the Pakistan-based Islamist militant group India, Britain and the United States have blamed for the Mumbai attacks, which killed at least 179 people....
