[Snapple]

You all might to write VERY POLITE letters to the editor of the Chitral News.

http://www.chitralnews.com

There is a link at the bottom of the page to the editor:

Email chitralnews@yahoo.com chitralnews@hotmail.com

Address: Fairland Hotel, Ataliq Bazaar Chitral, nwfp, Pakistan

Phone # 92-943-413969, 412579 Cell # 0333 5237640


It is important to be polite and diplomatic. People typically don't want to help jerks who make threats, trash their religion, country, etc.

Their editor is repeating the Pakistani denials that Osama is around Chitral.

The NYT is quoting the CIA that the CIA has bases in NW Pakistan but that Pakistani minders are restricting CIA efforts. I think the CIA has bases in Pakistan. Are the Pakistanis impeding them--I am not so sure this is ttrue, but don't know.

Chitral is a very poor community that wants more tourism--it is a base camp for the Hindu Kush.

Ask them VERY NICELY to please help in the search for Osama. You need to give your name, phone and address to be published in the letters to the editor.

Chitral News has reported that "heavily armed shepherds from Afghanistan" kidnapped a "Pakistani shepherd" and stole his goats. This was depicted as a cross-boarder family feud. Maybe, but it could also be the CIA is disguised as shepherds and is snatching terrorists.

An unidentified American military official has said that Osama my be around Chitral. He could be hiding out and be resupplied by trekkers.

There are also special huts for women who are in labor or having their periods. He could be hiding in one of these huts since Pakistani men might not check them in a search.

There is a lot of traffic thru the border.

US officers say it is Haqqani's network which sends young brainwashed assassins across the border to kill government officials in suicide attacks, ambushes lorries bringing supplies to US bases on the dangerous road from Kabul, and masterminds mass attacks on government positions in which badly-trained teenage guerrillas are often slaughtered.

BCP 2, a few miles away, has the graves of 40 of them outside its perimeter.

Rahman said he believed the border war would end quickly if Pakistan wanted it to.

"Pakistan says it is helping America but it is not. Pakistan is two-faced," the commander said.

Gen Kilbaz Sherzai, an old communist intelligence chief trained at the Frunze Military Academy, the Soviet Sandhurst, shares that view. He now works for the Americans in Khowst and recently survived a suicide-bomb attempt by an inept attacker.

"The boy was sent by Haqqani," the general said. "He believed that he would go to paradise by killing an Afghan who was working with infidels, but instead he is in an American prison."

The general is convinced that Haqqani is a key player whose capture could lead to the biggest prize in the war on terror.

"He is a friend of Bin Laden and has many links with Al-Qaeda," he said. "I'm sure he knows where Osama is. We just don't know why Pakistan doesn't arrest him."
