#1 "Top Pakistani military officials are concerned that their ranks have been penetrated by Islamists aiding militants in a campaign against the state, according to The Washington Post."

yes indeed and then...

"The top Pakistani military commander, General Ashfaq Kayani, was shaken by the discovery of Al-Qaeda leader Osama bin Laden close to a Pakistani military academy, the newspaper said."

Shaken, not stirred.

#4 Oddly enough, the way around the problem might be to require membership in the equivalent of a Ba'ath party to be in the military, as well as the introduction of a "moderate" (by their standards) chaplain's corps in the ranks.

The end result would be a slow and systematic purge of both wild hairs and those that have fallen under the sway of anti-government radical Imams.

It's far from perfect, but it would be a lot better than what they have now.
