#1 General Karamat works with the Brookings Institution.
A lot of the top Generals and ISI men are part of the same old old boys network as the Saudis.
I think the friendship between the Pakistani/Saudi and US establishments forged in the Cold war is one of the greatest liabilities of the war on terrorism. It seems a great many people in State, CIA and those from both sides of politics still have a cold war mindset, which prevents them from seeing the true threat posed to them by their buddies. That's why we see the constant excuse of 'rogues' that do all the bad things, while Musharaf and Crown Prince Abdullah are really good guys in a difficult situation.

#2 Surely the "rogues" stuff is for Local Consumption Only... Especially in this case. Would blaming Musharraf now be the best way to clear up the mess?

#4 With Khan having published this statement and the mention yesterday of his sending out a CD with copies of documents (through his daughter) makes it kind of late to arrange a traffic accident.
