[...] I think the British citizen they’re referring to is Rashid Rauf. He’s the alleged ringleader of the airplane plot who may or may not be on his way back to Britain as part of an extradition deal with Pakistan. [...]

So…I wonder where Musharraf is going to live in retirement? Miami? Boca Raton?

Pakistan should be afraid to confront the terrorists. They can’t protect themselves, and they certainly can’t depend on us for support, in particular after the last elections.

You are absolutely right. Due to the election results here in America, all jihadists are going to start flexing their muscles more and claiming victory all around the world (as they have been already). Additionally and very unfortunately, new recruits will be flooding in their doors. Things will probably get much worse before they ever get better.

Musharraf is a very endangered leader. He has survived at least 3 serious assassinations. That is the reason for the “peace treaty” earlier this Fall with the Taliban controlled areas.
Unless the UK is very serious, this guy can be out on the streets again soon.
Maybe just NO news is good news anymore.

Wade: Is the issue that Pakistan is afraid to confront terrorists, even with proof of guilt, OR is the issue that there was not sufficient proof to warrant a conviction?

What facts do we have to indicate that the state of affairs was not as described: lack of proof to warrant a conviction?

Pakistan has a legal system that is working.

If this were an isolated incident than maybe not a big deal, but it is not isolated and this further demonstrates Pakistan is afraid to confront the terrorists, there fore putting our friendship on very nervous footing.

Looks like Al-Qaeda/Taliban are putting even more pressure on never nervous Pervez. I’m just wondering when we are going to have another one of those phone calls with him (like the one right after 9/11).

Many will certainly not agree with me on this one, but perhaps this event is not all bad.

This post demonstrates that proof of criminal activity is required for conviction in Pakistan. If the prosecution failed to provide the necessary proof, to make their case convincingly, what other result is to be expected?

The consolation is that the UK has matters they wish to prosecute with this individual.

I honestly don’t see why this event is negative. If anything it speaks to me of a positive event, Pakistan has a legal system that is working.
