Holy guacamole.

According to the Indian media, the US had THIS to say on Pakistan's probleme about the drone attacks:

Washington, US Senate Armed Services Committee chairman Carl Levin, told reporters in a conference call, would prefer "a silence on their part rather than a public attack on us that creates real problems for us in terms of the Pakistani public and helps create some real animosity" against the United States.

"I just think it's wrong for them, I've told them that to their face," said Levin, who met in Pakistan with Pakistan Prime Minister Yousuf Raza Gilani and Pakistan's army chief of staff Ashfaq Kayani.

Now, Mr. Levin is typically not really like this- he opposed the invasion of Affy- so goodness knows who, or what, got to him. But the message is pretty horrific.

In other news, the chup chapati nation (by this I mean Amrika) DID release the names of those who are being held in Bagram today. The names are not published anywhere that I could see, but it is apparent that legion Pakistanis also made their way into the clutches of the infamous prison, along with Afghans, of course.

Everybody do themselves a favour and replace "if ... then the terrorists win" with "the torturers win". Rather more apt, really. Oh come on, now..
