...Muhammad has the capacity to launch sophisticated attacks on the President, possibly with insider help, is a situation partly of Musharraf's making. The government in Islamabad has long coddled militant Islamic groups, encouraging them first to help drive the Soviets out of neighboring Afghanistan and later to torment Indian troops in the part of the disputed state of Kashmir that is under Indian control. It was to this latter cause that Jaish-e-Muhammad was devoted. Official tolerance of these groups, and in some cases assistance to them, continued after Musharraf took power in a 1999 coup.

The chorus of minions are sufficiently alien and demonic, although it was impossible to hear any of their dialogue, which was spoken...
...paralyzed and mute after a 2000 auto accident, the mentally sound Vincent used movement in his thumb to communicate his physical and emotional agony over his "locked-in" condition. In a November letter to President Jacques Chirac, he asked that his mother be allowed to help him end his torment without risking prosecution under French laws prohibiting assisted suicide. He repeated that plea in a book, I Ask You for the Right to Die.
