Re: So lets revisit the Rationale
maybe true, im not debating whether or not these suicide bombers are real or whether they have to do with baitullah mashood.
what i want to talk about is the rationale for the emergency. clearly the focus of the police and rangers, who were supposed to be distracted by the Judiciary against terrorism, is now political and legal activists. Of all the arrests made, none of them have been publicized by the govt as behind extremism/terrorism. The police you see deployed on your tv screens inside big cities is NOT catching bearded dudes.
This situation will not blow over anytime soon. Political and legal activism will continue, and they will keep trying to suppress it with police. In which case its more of a distraction for the govt to keep this emergency going.
If they really ever cared about terrorism and werent just using it as a convenient excuse, they should focus on terrorism and end this emergency. But it was never about the terrorists was it.
