...quiz: name the most important issue for voters in the recent Pakistani elections. Was it the increase in terrorist attacks over the past year? President Pervez Musharraf's heavy-handed sacking of the country's top judges? Or the assassination of former Prime Minister Benazir Bhutto...
...political manipulation in Pakistan’s 2002 elections that led to Islamists coming to power in two provinces and gaining 59 seats in the National Assembly. This fraud was the work of the America’s supposedly unfaltering ally in the War on Terror, General (ret.)

The question is, Will Musharraf listen? And more important, does the U. S. Administration, which has always seen him as its best ally in the war on terrorism, want...
...Bush Administration has called President Pervez Musharraf America's most important ally in the war on terrorism for so long now that it may well become the Pakistani leader's political epitaph. He may need one soon. Three days after voters in parliamentary elections overwhelmingly rejected Musharraf's ruling party - and by extension Musharraf's own presidency - White House officials are digesting the reality that their man in Islamabad might not be in power for much longer...
