More Bad News from Pakistan

Here's another story about the perversion of justice in Pakistan. Brave, good reporting from the New York Times that should raise the level of interest in human rights there. Pakistan is an ally, because "the enemy of my enemy is my friend." But Pakistan is hardly a democratic country where the rule of law is primary. Let's hope things change there, and soon, so that we don't end up with another failed state -- this time with nuclear weapons in the arsenal of whatever thugs manage to cling to power.

By the way, Afghanistan hasn't been doing so great on human rights recently, either.
