Pakistan, one million and two

This isn't necessarily about Pakistan, but did you check out the Lawyer hucking smoke grenades back at the Soldiers as pictured on the cover of the NY Times, and Washington post, today? Where are the lawyers like that in the US, huh? Here's a guy who's so committed to the constitution and to the law that he's willing to literally fight for it, even if it's against a whole army, and he's armed with nothing more than his suit and tie! He's a good thirty or forty feet away from the throng, and standing tall. You want a hero? There's a hero.
But one more line about Pakistan: in all the other news, did anybody notice that Musharraf claims to now have an accord with Baitullah Mehsud (including an exchange of hostages)? Again, it's obvious: the real deal cut by Musharraf was with Taliban and warlords, so that Musharraf retains power, and the Taliban owns the western third of Pakistan.
