Slog - Comments on Sound Familiar? http://slog.thestranger.com/2007/11/sound_familiar_1 It's hard not to wince a little at this line in this morning's report on martial law in Pakistan: Musharraf's order allows courts to function but suspends some fundamental rights guaranteed by the constitution, including freedom of speech.

Whenever (or if) an actually free election is staged in Pakistan, it will be the final one.
