FOXNews usually gets it right when they do "world news" stories... well, that is if they get don't get handed a load of horsehockey by the AP (or other wire services) to work with, but this report on the Pakistan Civil Liberties Crackdown just doesn't really give one a sense of what is going on.
They got the part about hundreds of people arrested right, but didn't really convey either the level of military deployment to stop the protest march or the sheer size and population of the districts of Sindh or Punjab... the areas under the ban and military intervention... It is as if the U.S.A. government suspended right of assembly and sent in the army to every state east of the Mississippi, plus Texas.
This, combined with the electoral ban against Nawaz Sharif, is as close to a potential breakdown of public order as has come under the Zardari regime. All it would take is a spark to set it off...
