		<description>&lt;i&gt; ISLAMABAD, Pakistan - Pakistani police backed by armored vehicles detained opposition leader Benazir Bhutto at her Islamabad residence Friday and reportedly rounded up 5,000 of her supporters to block a planned mass protest against emergency rule, officials said.

Authorities were adamant the rally Bhutto planned in nearby Rawalpindi would not go ahead — under the government&#039;s emergency powers President Gen. Pervez Musharraf declared last weekend, mass gatherings are banned. Mayor Javed Akhlas also said there was a &quot;credible report&quot; of six or seven suicide bombers in the city.

&quot;We condemn this government move. It shows that the government is scared of Benazir Bhutto&#039;s popularity and it does not want her to be among masses,&quot; said Sen. Babar Awan, Bhutto&#039;s lawyer.

There was confusion among her aides about whether she would attempt to go to the venue in Rawalpindi, which had been sealed off by riot police backed by armored vehicles. The headquarters of Pakistan&#039;s army Musharraf&#039;s residence are also located in the city.

Nazir Dhoki, a spokesman for Bhutto&#039;s Pakistan People&#039;s Party said the former prime minister still planned to leave on schedule for Rawalpindi, but Sen. Enver Baig said party leaders were meeting to discuss whether the rally would go ahead or not.&lt;/i&gt;</description>

		<description>Musharraf set up the Taliban.  He recognized them in Afghanistan before 9/11.  He harbors them in Pakistan.  His intelligence agency (ISI) is a part of the Taliban.  That&#039;s why he says &#039;if you have evidence of Bin Laden in the country, give it to us and we will act on it&#039;.

He wants the evidence so that they can then cover their tracks and find out what we know.  It is absurd that people believe such a simple and moronic lie.  No wonder taqiyya works.

We said we would fight any country who aided and abetted terrorism.  PAKISTAN IS IT!  IF Pakistan isn&#039;t aiding and abetting, what other country on the planet does?  Oh yeah, I forgot about our other &#039;friend&#039; Saudi Arabia.

America would be better off if Musharraf wasn&#039;t in power - nukes or not.  At least then we could see the clear enemy who needs to be defeated.</description>

		<description>Here&#039;s what everyone is missing.  Musharraf is FOR the TERRORISTS.  He&#039;s been telling America what we want to hear since 9/11 to maintain power.  This is NO DIFFERENT.

Sharia has grown more under Musharraf than under ANY OTHER PAKISTANI LEADER.  Despite the threat of Islamization, Pakistan is a fairly modern country of 160 million people who DO NOT WANT SHARIA.

It isn&#039;t Musharraf who is keeping sharia away from Pakistan.  Musharraf is ushering it in with things like giving up the NW province - something that a &#039;pro-America&#039; leader WOULD NOT DO.

Please understand that the US is better off without Musharraf anywhere NEAR power.  Musharraf has done NOTHING to assist us on the war on terror.  He has used the WOT as an excuse to get rid of people he disagrees with on more than one occassion.

It isn&#039;t the &#039;lesser of two evils&#039;.  Musharraf IS the evil that nobody in the country wants leading them.  If it wasn&#039;t for the US, he&#039;d be gone, and Pakistan would be better.

The longer he remains NEAR power, the worse it is for the USA.</description>

Then Global Warming will be the least of anyones worries, but Global Fallout.

&lt;blockquote&gt;Terrorists may attack the demonstrators out of their usual lust for carnage, or Musharraf may attack them out of paranoia. Hugo Chavez can order his goons to attack protesters and it barely causes a stir, but if Musharraf does that he’ll have the whole world pounding him for it.&lt;/blockquote&gt;
The difference between Hugo and Mushy is Hugo&#039;s insane and doesn&#039;t have nukes, but Hugo has oil and can be rationally justified doing business with because somehow a communist is less threating than a dictator in the worlds eyes.</description>

		<description>I might be wrong, but I&#039;m pretty sure they can&#039;t get a nuke here. Or Europe.  Maybe Israel.

But somebody help me connect the dots:  who are the protestors, and what is their issue?  If I have it right, they are Bhutto supporters, who is also anti-radical Islam, like Mushy, but anti-Mushy.

So Mushy is slapping them around out of the normal kind of paranoia, not the anti-Islamo-Nazi kind?  And if so, as Bryan has clearly pointed out, when does he get back to the job at hand, i.e., slaughtering Islamo-Nazi scum up in the north?</description>

		<description>I don&#039;t think the jihadists are excited about an election any time. Mush better crush something or he surely will be crushed. The world is amazingly calm in the face of possibilities coming from a general collapse of the land of the pure.</description>
