#2 Mariana Baabar (the diplomatic correspondent for The News) relates an incident during the time Beg was army chief

"General Aslam Beg's attempt at glasnost when he invited the media to cover the Zarb-e-Momin exercise across the Punjab, provided us much food for thought: clearly this was one army whose top generals were not interested in war. Desperate to use the loo, two other women journalists and I sneaked into the caravan assigned to one general. We had seen him in the dining area and assumed it was safe to enter.

It was quite a revelation. The grandeur of makeshift living quarters - and that too during a military exercise - was nothing short of mind-boggling. Nothing, it seemed, was too much for the generals' comfort. After I wrote a piece on the experience, my father, a soldier from the old school, was shell-shocked: was the army really only using mineral water? And that was the least of it. If only the photographs we took had been published! As for the rest of my information, that fell prey to the editor's brief regarding word count."
