I smell an excuse for another 9/11:
A Detour From a Battle Against Terror
"While Gen. Pervez Musharraf justified his emergency rule decree as helping him combat terrorism, it could end up weakening his ability to rein in the Qaeda militants who ultimately threaten American interests.
Pakistani analysts are increasingly questioning General Musharraf’s contention that emergency rule was needed to help him fight terrorism. Across the country, policemen and intelligence agents have been diverted from hunting terrorists to arresting lawyers, who apparently are being assessed as the greater threat.
These analysts argue that the extraordinary steps General Musharraf has taken against Pakistan’s courts and its news media will in any case have little effect in Pakistan’s tribal areas, where Al Qaeda and other groups are thriving. Federal judges have limited jurisdiction in the tribal areas and journalists are barred from traveling alone there.
No wonder there is such bullshit lies in the paper!
As General Musharraf met with diplomats in Islamabad and the police arrested lawyers, another sign of the troubled military effort in the tribal areas emerged Monday. Government officials confirmed that they had reached a peace agreement with Baitullah Mehsud, one of the area’s most powerful militant commanders.
The government released 25 of Mr. Mehsud’s militants in exchange for 213 army soldiers captured by Mr. Mehsud’s forces in August. The army also agreed to withdraw soldiers from the area inhabited by Mr. Mehsud’s tribe in South Waziristan and allow members of the Frontier Corps, a lightly armed paramilitary force, to patrol the area instead.
Good! That means those innocents up there will stop being killed for nothing!
Mr. Mehsud pledged to expel all foreigners from the area by Jan. 1 and to dismantle training camps. But he declined to promise not to dispatch fighters to Afghanistan, where suicide bombings against American and NATO forces have soared this year."
So here comes the next 9/11 soon!!!!
When Congress goes on break? What's going on up in those hills, anyway?
How come the shit MSM is so negligent of the war fronts?
