#3 The military ruler, wearing a black button-down tunic rather than his army fatigues

#4 What is compelling and interesting about all of this is that there is no solid concensus on how this will turn out and what the effect will be on WoT, Paki-India relations, improved democracy, radical Islam's march to oblivion, etc. Mushy cannot be pulling this off with the strongest support of the Army and ISI - yet he is declaring the emergency because of "extremism activity" which is something the ISI seems woe to separate themselves from. And to make matters worse these people have nukes.
