| MANSEHRA: In its operation against relief goods' hoarders in Mansehra, Pakistan Army personnel on Friday recovered relief aid in tonnes from the houses of a nazim and a a former committee chairman. Army personnel raided the nazim's house of union council 4, recovering about 35 sacks of rice, 40 sacks of flour and a good deal of cooking oil. Half of the supply was recovered from his friend's home. In another case, former chairman of the City Committee of Safaidiyan village was found in possession of a huge storage of edibles and blankets meant for quake affectees. The enraged people later blackened his face and paraded him in the entire area. Similarly, a truckload of goods has been recovered from a nazim's house. Two former AJK ministers have also committed embezzlements, as army seized 200 tents from one minister and 300 tents from another. |

| #7 Uh oh, every time I wail on Pervy I get whacked, Zen, lol. Color me naive, but I simply despise any accommodation or arrangement engineered for momentary advantage - at the cost of our integrity by putting the lie to our stated policies. They're destined to come back and bite us in the ass. Sigh. If I can conduct myself with honor, so can my government. Sure it will cost us in certain places, and the M.E. is the obvious one, but I submit the benefit is outweighed by the losses over the lifespan of the game -- and regards the M.E., I also submit that the instability level, and of course unstable is the norm there, isn't nearly to my satisfaction, lol. Duck! |

| #6 If Musharraf does not have the stones to implement swift summary execution for these miscreants, he does not belong in power. I never cease to wonder at how those who hate America so much nonetheless manage to prove most capable of all at screwing over their own ilk in ways that are almost fascinating by dint of their inventiveness. Howevermuch such maggots blame America for all their woes, they still do not blush at gouging and cheating their own brethern with breathtaking alacrity. Of course, such venality and corruption have absolutely nothing to do with the poverty and degradation their countries are so often mired in. Such blame is routinely placed upon the doorstep of that most heinous monster of all, democratic free market capitalism. |

| #5 Lol, institutionalized systemic rape and exploitation of the masses, including the desperate and those in truly direst need, does seem to occur most vigorously in the places where the "isms" live and prosper. |

| #3 Just another example that the Paks like the Indos, Malays, and Phils, could care less about the people who need the aid. They just see profit and greed in aid. The only aid that ever gets through is the stuff dumped from US helicpoters to the people standing there in need, or from folks like Knightsbridge and other NGO's willing to risk the crooked political leaders and generals. |

| #2 This is nothing compared to the aid funds that the Pak army itself will divert... |

| #1 A little humilation for screwing people in the direst of need? Not enough. You can do better. I know - pretend your brother raped his sister beat her to within an inch of her life, but she didn't cooperate, didn't die. There ya go. Time for some of that infamous "honor" killing you're so good at. |
