UPDATE:
Activists detained in Pakistan emergency
By ROBIN McDOWELL, Associated Press Writer 30 minutes ago
ISLAMABAD, Pakistan - Police and soldiers emboldened by state of emergency powers swept up hundreds of activists and opposition members on Sunday, dragged away protesters shouting "Shame on you!", and turned government buildings into barbed-wire compounds.
Gen. Pervez Musharraf's government said parliamentary elections could be delayed up to a year as it tries to stamp out a growing Islamic militant threat — effectively linking two of the greatest concerns of Pakistan's biggest international donors: the United States and Britain.
Increasingly concerned about the unfolding crisis, Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice said Washington was reviewing billions of dollars in aid to its close terrorism-fighting ally. Britain is also examining its assistance.
"Some of the aid that goes to Pakistan is directly related to the counterterrorism mission," Rice told reporters traveling with her. "We just have to review the situation.
THIS is JUST ANOTHER of condosleeza's bold-face FUCKING LIES. This guy is NOT a good guy. He is arresting ACTIVISTS. Like in BURMA. He is arresting the PEOPLE to set up a fascist dictatorship and blaming it on an imaginary islamic uprising. COME ON people, there aren't enough fucking islamists (or any people) in the world to cause THIS MUCH STRESS in this many places. These ARE LIES. The United States is providing money to bring Pakistan under control. NEW WORLD ORDER.Musharraf's emergency order suspended the 1973 constitution. Seven of the 17 Supreme Court judges immediately rejected the order, and only five agreed to take the oath of office under the new provisional constitution.
Musharraf issued two ordinances toughening media laws, including a ban on live broadcasts of "incidents of violence and conflict." Also, TV operators who "ridicule" the president, armed forces, and other powerful state bodies face up to three years in jail.
___BUSH is doing just the opposite: First controlling the media and THEN suspending the Constitution. He already has executive orders in place to allow him to declare martial law. They're already in place in Florida TOO. Since Sept. 7, 2001. (JEB 666)
Stroke of a pen and Tallahassee is surrounded by barbed wire and that SOB is in the WhiteHouse FOREVER.
Get him OUT before he starts having Americans dragged away. Even a complete Republican can see the parallels here. We're not republicans and democrats and constitutionalists and atheists and Jews and Catholics. We're HUMAN BEINGS. Start acting like it and get this inhuman, monstrous cabal OUT OF POWER. Please.
Musharraf Declares Emergency Rule in Pakistan
By Griff Witte and Imtiaz Ali
The Washington Post
Saturday 03 November 2007
Provisional Constitution instituted, leader expected to address nation Saturday.
Islamabad, Pakistan - Pakistani President Pervez Musharraf declared emergency rule Saturday, suspending the constitution amid a heavy security presence including armored personnel carriers on the streets of the capital.
Musharraf, who instituted a provisional constitution, was expected to address the nation later and cite continuing fighting in the turbulent Swat Valley as his reason.
Opposition parties quickly gathered to denounce the move, which also blocked transmission of private television broadcasts nationwide.
The chief justice of the Supreme Court, Iftikhar Muhammad Chaudhry, was removed from his job and placed under house arrest. Musharraf had suspended the judge earlier this year, but he was later reinstated.
"This is a very fateful day for the country. Pakistan is in deep, deep crisis," said Aitzaz Ahsan, Chaudhry's attorney. "It is one man against the nation." Ahsan said that he expected to be arrested later Saturday night.
With his political future hanging on an upcoming Supreme Court decision, Musharraf had been said to be considering the move if the judgment did not go his way.
The declaration is expected to bring on a wave of extremist attacks that have roiled the country in recent months, with increasingly large swaths of territory falling under the sway of insurgents.
The United States had tried to pressure Musharraf on Friday to avoid declaring emergency rule or martial law.
Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice on Friday sent a warning to Musharraf not to take authoritarian measures to hold on to power. "I think it would be quite obvious that the United States would not be supportive of extra-constitutional means," Rice said. "Pakistan needs to prepare for and hold free and fair elections."
That message was followed by a previously scheduled meeting between Musharraf and Adm. William J. Fallon, chief of the U.S. Central Command.
Musharraf won election last month to a new, five-year term as Pakistan's president. But the Supreme Court is still reviewing whether he was eligible to run in the first place.
Most analysts predict that the court will rule in Musharraf's favor and allow him to begin his new term. But the case has been dragging on for weeks, and Musharraf's current term expires Nov. 15.
After saying on Thursday that they would take next week off from the case, the judges said Friday that they would meet for at least two days next week in an attempt to reach a decision before the end of Musharraf's term.
Government officials had pointedly refused to rule out the possibility of an emergency declaration that would blunt the power of the courts and allow Musharraf to push back parliamentary elections slated for early 2008.
Opposition politicians accused the government of using the threat of martial law or emergency rule to pressure the Supreme Court to side with the president.
The explosion that killed 10 Friday in the restive border region of North Waziristan seemed likely to only add to an already turbulent situation in Pakistan. According to witness reports, the explosion was caused by a missile attack that obliterated a house near a madrassa, or religious school, that has been associated with Taliban commanders.
The Pakistani military, which has been fighting a losing battle in the tribal region, denied that it was involved in the attack. Many Pakistanis quickly blamed Washington, saying the attack bore the hallmarks of previous strikes by U.S. drones.
U.S. and NATO military officials in Afghanistan also denied that their forces had been responsible for the attack. A senior Bush administration official familiar with intelligence activities said the CIA was not involved.
The missile landed in the village of Dandi Darpakheil, 10 miles into Pakistani territory. Some residents reported seeing a drone circling overhead before the explosion, while others said that the strike seemed to have originated to the west, in Afghanistan.
Mohammad Shah, a resident, said he heard a massive explosion and went to investigate. But by the time he arrived, he said, the Taliban had cordoned off the site. "Nobody was allowed to see what happened," he said.
A local official in North Waziristan said the site that was hit had been a militant hideout.
The explosion occurred near a house formerly owned by Jalaluddin Haqqani, a veteran Taliban commander, the official said. Haqqani's son, Siraj Uddin Haqqani, has been taking on an increasingly important role in Taliban operations in recent years and is considered a vital link between the Afghan and Pakistani branches of the radical Islamic movement.
The United States is technically supposed to restrict its military activity to the Afghan side of the border, where it has tens of thousands of troops. But there have been previous episodes in which the CIA is believed to have employed Predator drones mounted with Hellfire missiles to go after targets within Pakistan. The most recent such incident came in June. In January 2006, the CIA tried and failed to hit al-Qaeda deputy leader Ayman al-Zawahiri in the tribal area of Bajaur.
Pakistan has been grappling with Islamic extremists on multiple fronts. On Friday, insurgents released 50 troops who they said had surrendered a day earlier during fighting in the scenic Swat Valley. There have been intense clashes in Swat over the past week, fighting that marks an expansion of the war from the tribal areas that hug the Afghan border to the so-called settled areas farther east.
