Paks vow "merciless" campaign against violence
2002-03-20
  • Pakistan's military government said it would create new anti-terrorist units within the national security organizations as part of a "merciless" campaign to counter growing political and religious violence. Commentators say the attack has called into question the effectiveness of Musharraf's efforts to clamp down on Islamic militants and the credibility of the Pakistani ruler as an effective partner in the U.S.-led war on terror. "These terrorists deserve no sympathy and need to be dealt with firmly and mercilessly, albeit judiciously," Information Minister Nisar Memon quoted Musharraf as saying.
    Oooh, the stench! It's overpowering. You could fertilize all the farms in Pakistan with that "program." Just think: they're going to create anti-terror squads within "the national security organizations" -- oh, God! Hand me a tissue! When I think of the ISI running an "anti-terrorist" squad and arresting itself... Oh, why, why can't I believe it?
