The crash left Woods temporarily unconscious - and seems to have rendered his p.r. apparatus addled as well. His less-than-forthcoming statements to both police and the public have only stoked rumors about his domestic life that were flooding the gossip blogosphere even before the incident.

But in recent years, as innocents have been killed from Karachi to Islamabad, it has become clear that it is the Pakistani people who are the most endangered by extremism. Public opinion has turned.
