...government has released Muhammad, in hopes that he can help calm the situation. Shuja calls it part of the "political effort" needed to accompany the military campaign. "Brute use of force alone would only take us backwards."

"He is our leader and very dear to all of us, but our struggle for the implementation of a true Islamic system will not be affected," says Sirajuddin. "Maulana Sufi is demanding the same.

"That process of brute force takes about 30 minutes per flight," he says. "In 2006, there were 120,000 cancelled flights and 16,000 diverted flights. We're talking 136,000 flights to look at." Castelveter admitted that with new reporting procedures, the BTS data on flight delays would increase. But he stressed...
