Some folks haven't learned anything since December 7,1941!

It may be "easier" to guard trucks /planes/? clustered together but it makes for an easier target and higher losses when attacked.

I would guess it’s local civvies doing the driving and Pak border guards or military that sets the protocols.

I was wondering how the Pakistanis got 60 oil tankers into a parking lot. ;)

this is a Pakistani paper - they use different names for some things than we do.

For example, they don't call the tallies and al Q's "terrorists" or "insurgents" - they call them "miscreants" -

I thought that was rather mild - until I looked up the full meaning of the word:

1. depraved, villainous, or base.

2. Archaic. holding a false or unorthodox religious belief; heretical.

–noun 3. a vicious or depraved person; villain.

4. Archaic. a heretic or infidel.

So, "Miscreants" it is...
