From Flopping Aces article: Pakistan President Gen. Pervez Musharraf on Tuesday gave a go-ahead for a massive military action in the restive tribal areas to crush pro-Taliban and Al Qaeda militants once for all.

"Now the terrorists will not be allowed to kill any more people. That’s the reason why we have enforced emergency. They will either be killed or have to surrender," President Musharraf was quoted as saying by the official.

Which may very well explain his declaration of martial law and the seizure of judicial members sympathetic to the very same militant Islamists.

Could very well be.

Go get 'em Mushy.

And :

More evidence "old Taliban" teaming with Musharraf and Bhutto

********************Intro Excerpt*******************

As I postulated here at the American Thinker, Maulana Fazlur Rahman, creator, a leader of, and international ambassador of the Taliban has split with al Qaeda. He is turning his loyalist Taliban against al Qaeda, which itself is in the process of taking over the Taliban via young Taliban chieftains. Ergo, a war is shaping up between Maulana Fazlur Rahman and his millions of followers, Bhutto, Musharraf on one side against "young Taliban" and al Qaeda on the other.

The Supreme Court judges who were seized had few if any sympathies to the Islamists.The fact is that the Judiciary has never had any clout on the way the Army & it’s ISI have acted against anything-this can in no way be compared to US judges who have hindered the US WOT.

And your point is??The fact is that the Chief Justice asked the Government to give reasons for the disappearance of peoples-supposedly taken into custody.Which is not the same as releasing terrorists.The fact remains the internal security apparatus in Pakistan has had far more autonomy & freedom of operations than most other countries can dream about,inclu. the US.The Supreme Court or judiciary have barely had any real influence on them-

Which does not mean that I am a fan of the Chief Justice-he has been accused of nepotism by several quarters & has his own vested interests to keep.Only that he is no worse than Musharraf.
