#1 you now know who's important to Mehsud. You let him know that if a hostage is killed or harmed, his valued pal is the first to take a bullet in the head, immediately, without trial. Next up is his buddy Anwar, then the next, then the next.....

#2 Perv really, REALLY needs to let the US attack the Tribal areas, no holds barred. Otherwise, he and his government are dead. For our part, we should tell Perv he has 30 days to deal with the talibunnies, or the entire northwest of his nation becomes a kill zone. Wipe Peshawar off the map, turn Quetta into something the Romans would have left behind, and destroy anything that moves in between. Quit trying to fight a "nice" war, and go Mongol. The world will thank us - in a hundred years or so.

#3 I think it's the civilian government and the new head of the Army of the Pure that have to give permission now, Old Patriot.
