#2 I was confused that the article kept referring to Rawalpindi instead of Islamabad, the capitol of Land of the
Pure. But it turns out Rawalpindi is where the army is headquartered, which makes perfect sense.

#3 I wonder if Pakistain knows the army is in Rawalpindi. Everyone there seems to play close to the vest. Wheels within wheels, and all that.
