Reply #20: My prediction

[paulthompson]

When Saeed Sheikh was arrested, it was mentioned in the media that he'd been promised he would only have to spend about 3 to 4 years in prison. Musharraf in recent weeks has been emptying Pakistan's jails of all al-Qaeda and Taliban, as recent news report. However, he can't let Saeed go, yet, because he's too high profile. There's even a movie coming out about the killing of Daniel Pearl starring Brad Pitt and Angelie Jolie. But with Musharraf's book, he lays the groundwork for Saeed's release. Probably in a year or two, maybe after the hubbub of the movie dies down, they'll appeal his case and let him go or at least greatly reduce his sentence. That's my speculation.
