BHUTTO has been locked up again, seven day house arrest

[Bluebear]

LAHORE, Pakistan - Pakistani authorities placed opposition leader Benazir Bhutto under house arrest for the second time in four days to prevent her staging a grand procession on Tuesday to protest emergency rule, police said.

A seven-day detention order was issued by the government of Punjab province, where the former prime minister is staying at the house of a lawmaker from her party, Aftab Cheema, the chief of operations of Lahore city police, told The Associated Press.

"She has been detained and she won't be allowed to come out," Cheema said.

1. Wonder how long before that starts happening here.....NT

[Disturbed]

3. Dictators never seem to learn.

Oppression cannot last very long. It is like placing a piece of chewing gum in the
wall of a damn leak. Perv will lose in spite of his support from Busholini.

2. Worried for her safety. Fortunately it's making Mushies regime look silly.

Still worried though.

5. Intellectual conflicts like the kind imposed by this situation don't compute in right wing brains.

The fact that the Bush-Cheney administration cited this exact sort of behavior as a critical justification for the invasion and occupation of a sovereign nation simply does not pose a problem for them (or their supporters). It's only a PR problem, and we know that the corporate media will do everything they can to mitigate the damage.

6. Things are beginning to happen fast and furiously in Pakistan. Alarming. nt

7. the problem with Pakistan is that the Heritage Foundation and their ilk

have never considered Pak's impact before.

If they didn't see trouble brewing, there can't be any, right? :sarcasm:
