#1 Unfortunately, The Paks are still blind at night, and there are difficulties in getting them timely information that western countries may have. That and they are damned stubborn about doing this themselves.

#2 My understanding is that the deadline was given at night for surrender by the following dawn. If that's the case that would make sense given that they don't have night fighting capability... it sounded bad when I first heard it but maybe it was just because they knew they couldn't run operations during that time anyway.

#3 I doubt there is anything but a concentration of angry, simple (tho well armed) shepards. Same old crap. Good news is I suspect it cost a good deal for the real baddies to vamoose.
