#1 Must be that the geomagnetic storms have screwed up the Pak's compasses. Of course hundreds of Pak soldiers strayed to the north and were airlifted out of Konduz (or near Mazar-e-shariff) in the Afghan war with the Taliban.

#4 I feel the Afghan officials have shown a lot of restraint in the handling of Pakistan fighters and Al-Qaida supporters, they could have easily just shot or jailed them. To publicly release them in general was smart in one way by proving their existance, but also a bit of a gamble since they will probably return back to their old haunts. In retro, I honestly feel that Pakistan is the hornerts nest now, and it has been for a while. Maybe we cant occupy that land but should at least cut of the borders and make Musharraf sweat'em out by showing topdog relations with India just to give hem something to think about throughout the winter and early spring.
