Re: Can Pakistan army be trusted
Your master dictator can fool Americans with these rantings by b*****ng the entire Pakistani nation as asqaida…you can not fool Pakistani nation any more…
Your master dictator is actually the one who secretly nurtures alqaida to stay in power…Pakistani common people are the one’s who are against these people because eventually your master will join his son in Houston but people of this country will suffer>>>>

Musharraf Releases Highest Ranking Taliban Ever Captured
Parvez Musharraf needs more militants to militate against in order to affirm the presence of his totalitarian military in Pakistan’s civilian sphere. As I noted in my article Pakistan, Prince of Denmark, this means that Musharraf will ally with pro-Taliban parties, appease militants by offering them the freedom to implement Sharia, kill those tribal leaders who held the Taliban at bay (links all in the article), and now, it appears, he will release the HIGHEST RANKING TALIBAN EVER CAPTURED.
Newsweek reports:
Pakistani lawyers, human-rights activists and opposition-party members can scarcely ignore the irony of their situation: while thousands of them are being beaten and locked up under President Pervez Musharraf’s newly declared state of emergency, his government has just let more than two dozen militant Islamists out of jail. Protesters might be even angrier if Musharraf disclosed the names of some of those freed militants. Taliban sources tell NEWSWEEK that the top man on the list was Mullah Obaidullah Akhund—the highest-ranking Taliban official ever captured by the Pakistanis. As one of Taliban leader Mullah Mohammad Omar’s closest confidants and his defense minister until the post 9-11 invasion of Afghanistan, Obaidullah was No. 3 in the group’s hierarchy and a member of its ruling 10-man shura (council).
Apparently Obaidullah was released in a prisoner exchange program. Which means that the Taliban now know that all they have to do to get what they want is capture prisoners. In light of the fact that Pakistani military is at such low morale that in the first set piece against Taliban forces in non-tribal areas, they surrendered WITHOUT offering a shot, this is not just sad to hear, it is downright frightening. Taliban attack, Pakistani military stands down, Musharraf releases Taliban prisoner and meets Taliban demands…
In short: Musharraf is destabilizing Pakistan so that it perpetuates his rule. No wonder the first paragraph of the Emergency Declaration read as follows:
Whereas there is visible ascendancy in the activities of extremists and incidents of terrorist attacks, including suicide bombings, IED [improvised explosive device] explosions, rocket firing and bomb explosions and the banding together of some militant groups have taken such activities to an unprecedented level of violent intensity posing a grave threat to the life and property of the citizens of Pakistan;
