[DAWN] It is beyond tragic that the men that shot human rights ...which are usually entirely different from personal liberty... advocate Rashid Rehman five times, had to pretend to be clients in order to kill him.
After all, why should pious men undertaking God's work ever have to come in disguise like cold blooded cowards?

[DAWN] AS if the militancy scene was not confusing enough -- at least for Pakistain's decision-makers and policymakers -- the now almost month-long fighting between two Death Eater groups in South Wazoo has made the situation more puzzling, particularly in the context of the on-again, off-again peace talks.
The fighting between Khan Said alias Sajna and Shehryar -- both Shabikhel Mehsuds -- has raised questions of whether what is essentially a pie fight for leadership and territorial control of the Mehsud heartland will spread to other tribal regions, and engulf the Tehrik-e-Taliban Pakistain, causing further fissures in Taliban ranks.
Also, important is the question of whether the festivities will have an impact on the peace talks between the TTP and the government-nominated committee of serving and retired civil bureaucrats.

[DAWN] POLITICAL protests, rallies and movements are the democratic rights of the people and their representatives and, especially given the paucity of democracy in this country's history, ought never to be impeded or blocked, so long as the programme stays within the parameters of the law. Yet, while it is well within the PTI's right to launch some kind of new movement -- or is it just a daylong protest? -- on May 11, there are many questions that Imran Khan ... aka Taliban Khan, who ain't the sharpest bulb on the national tree... 's latest foray into protest politics has left unanswered so far. What, for example, is the point, if any, to May 11? That the leader of a party which won a significant number of votes in the last election and now runs the Khyber-Pakhtunkhwa ... formerly NWFP, still Terrorism Central... government is willing to plunge into protest mode without it being entirely apparent to the non-partisan observer why and to what end is slightly worrying from a democratic perspective. At the very least, it is puzzling.

[PJMedia] The campaign to place pressure on Israel through activism on the international stage is the latest example of this.
Interesting and well argued, and with a hopeful conclusion for Israel, if not for the magically thinking Palestinians and those invested in their replacement theology.
A multi-volume chronology and reference guide set detailing three years of the Mexican Drug War between 2010 and 2012.
Rantburg.com and borderlandbeat.com correspondent and author Chris Covert presents his first non-fiction work detailing
the drug and gang related violence in Mexico.
Chris gives us Mexican press dispatches of drug and gang war violence
over three years, presented in a multi volume set intended to chronicle the death, violence and mayhem which has
dominated Mexico for six years.
Rantburg was assembled from recycled algorithms in the United States of America. No
trees were destroyed in the production of this weblog. We did hurt some, though. Sorry.
