#1 There has been a hell of a lot of activity in Pakistan lately.

#2 For all we know, Musharraf may have actually decided to take the gloves off with regard to the jihadis (his survival demands nothing less) and start cleaning clocks. All these arrests have to have racked up quite a considerable number of interesting characters by now.

#3 Chicken or egg, though? Did Perv come down on AQ, and then AQ reacts by trying to kill him, or did AQ try to whack him and then Perv gets Well and Truly Annoyed.

My guess is this - when Perv started to investigate and jug the nuke scientists, AQ started gunning for him. After a quick change of underwear and bodyguards, Perv cranks up the 'ol Peshawar Paddywagonâ¢.

#4 Dan, yup... try to kill me once and it's funny, try to kill me again and I'm gunin for ya ;)

Btw, isn't this exactly what GW said he was gonna do... get our enemies to turn on eachother... Perv... Sauds... hmmm so far so good. They're stuck between a rock and a hard place... on one side they need to do PR to make it look like they're cracking down so that we don't come down on them... on the other they try to make nice and support the terrorist. The problem comes in when the PR they're doing starts cracking their unholy alliance, next thing you know they're shootin at eachother.
