Working With a Dictator

[nhboy]

"PAKISTANI PRESIDENT Pervez Musharraf claims that he suspended the constitution and imposed de facto martial law Saturday to save his country from Islamic extremists. But his crackdown has been directed almost entirely at Pakistan's moderate, secular and pro-democracy opposition -- the very people who could offer a political alternative to the Taliban and al-Qaeda. At least 500 lawyers, judges, political party leaders, human rights activists and journalists have been arrested. Independent television stations have been shut. Lawyers who tried to demonstrate against the repression in front of the Supreme Court yesterday were attacked by security forces."

I say this with an edge on sarcasm, but locking up political leaders, lawyers, and journalists aint all bad.

Look what many of them have done to this country. Some have outright committed treason, some have accused our soldiers of being brutal baby-killers, some have given secrets to the enemy and given out classified information, some have given aid and comfort to our enemies. Should these be arrested.?

I can send you a list but you know who they are.

Some of those in our own country would get the Taliban and Al Qaeda vote if they had one.
