Anyone wondering how emergency rule is affecting militants?
Well, since Musharraf freed 28 militants on the night he declared martial law, and today, there is fresh news that the militants have seized more strongholds in Swat, it looks like the emergency is going pretty well for them. Oh, and another 60 soldiers surrendered to militants. It's not surprising that the militants are being ignored, really, since the jails are full of lawyers and politicans and the police are too busy preventing street protests to worry about armed insurrection within Pakistan. This op-ed has a good analysis.
