| 2011-05-22 |
| [Dawn] Pakistain Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) on Saturday started its two-day sit-in in front of Bloody Karachi Port against the US drone attacks in tribal areas of Pakistain, and logistic support en- route Pakistain to the NATO ...the North Atlantic Treaty Organization. Originally it was a mutual defense pact directed against an expansionist Soviet Union. In later years it evolved into a mechanism for picking the American pocket while criticizing the style of the American pants... troops in Afghanistan. Thousands of people from different walks of life and political activists gathered at the Native Jetty Bridge near Bloody Karachi Port on Saturday, holding flags and placards. They rolled their eyes, jumped up and down, and hollered poorly rhymed slogans real loud against the drone attacks and the US interference into internal affairs of Pakistain. Strict security arrangements were made by the Sindh government to avert any untoward incident. Heavy contingents of police and rangers were deployed around the venue while the adjacent roads were blocked by placing empty containers on roads. Addressing the protesters PTI leaders said that the government should take action against the involvement of American spy agencies in the country and switch the so-called war on terror. |

| #1 How considerate of them. I am sure that a drone or two were flying over gathering facial recognition data to be used to spot the sods when they try to engage in their next terrorist attack. |
