"Extra-constitutional" moves are NOT the way to resolve the Pakistan crisis says Rice:


Just now on Headline News:
HO HO--seems to me this is how Bush WH has responded to our 'terror' crisis!


Pak. constitution has been suspended, SC justices have been kicked out (new ones sworn in),
Ministries resolved. The Dictator is in charge as of this moment.


See LBN for lots of articles on this:

3. Chaudhry, on being replaced, has been placed under house arrest.



http://english.aljazeera.net/NR/exeres/8D370CD6-A376-4EB6-A829-DFC8E037CB16.htm

....In a taped address to the nation, Musharraf said the decision to impose emergency was taken in the interest of Pakistan.

He cited growing extremism, increasing lawlessness and an 'interfering judiciary' as some of the reasons behind his extraordinary step.

Crackdown

In depth

Pakistan: Timeline
Musharraf, who is also chief of the army staff, issued a provisional constitutional order declaring emergency.

Justice Chaudhry and eight other judges of the supreme court refused to endorse the provisional constitutional order issued by the president, but Musharraf's government rejected the ruling.

Chaudhry, on being replaced, has been placed under house arrest.

5. She said the same thing to Chavez
when he was flown back in after the coup. Glowering fucktard has no sense of irony or shame.

8. She's a flippin' hypocrite and
a terrible diplomat, but what is happening in Pakistan is magnitudes worse than what's happened here under bush. I don't recall Ruth Bader Ginsberg or any or the other Justices who voted against bushco, being deposed from the SC or put under house arrest. I don't recall TV stations being under siege by the military.

It's good to see both similarities and differences.

11. Does anybody else think that Condi doesn't really SAY anything herself - she only
repeats what she's TOLD to say? Why does the media even bother? They need to ask someone who knows what they're talking about.

13. I cannot listen to any of them speak anymore.
I automaticaly go into "lalalalalalala" mode and it wipes out their voices, or I start shouting obscenities at my tv. I appear to have no control over this. I can, at best, read their comments.

I LONG for the day when that woman, in particular, no longers appears in the media.

Oh, and about Pakistan, I'm very worried.

14. Why not, Condi? They're all the rage here.
Georgie Boy can't get enough of them.

Ugh! Every time Condi opens her mouth she makes a fool of herself. She should STFU.

16. Every time Condi opens her mouth she confirms that she should
stick to playing piano & shopping for expensive shoes.
