#1 I'm sure the ISI is all over this, and some of the usual suspects will be rounded up

#2 Such a massive blast, just two days before Bush's visit? Surely there has been unprecedented security beforehand, just as in India, especially when Pak's most wanted man, Rehman, is known to be an emerging leader and running loose. Maybe Musharraf will be shaken enough to really let loose on all the known camps and anyone thought to be associated with extremists.

#3 Odds are that he was an "agricultural attache" involved with "cultural exchanges" and shit. Uh-huh.

#4 This only helps our cause in Bush's goal on persuading the Pakistani president to be more forceful in confronting terrorists, but still a real tragedy for the families of this innocent diplomat.

#5 I've been in that hotel and that consulate, but in the early '90's before it all went to hell. Karachi is a real third world toilet.

Sad to see that Muhammed Ali has been reduced to selling cigarettes on a street corner there. One too many puches to the noggin I guess.
