The contempt of Kayani court?
On Thursday, we saw a new anti-PPP decision from the so-called independent judiciary. Prime Minister Yousuf Raza Gilani has been summoned to appear before the Supreme Court on February 13 for the framing of the contempt of court charges.

The more things change -by Nadeem F. Paracha
The Pakistan army as an institution is a curious creature. A self-absorbed bulky white elephant, it can suddenly transform into becoming a raging bull in a china shop every time it feels the vast political and economic space it needs to move around in is being shrunken with the help of fences and boundary walls. Though it has lost almost all [...]

General Kayani and CJ Iftikhar Chaudhry agree on Judicial Coup in January 2012
There are some clear signs that Pakistan's military establishment and its allies (commonly known as Teen Jeem (3 Js), i.e., "Jenerals" and their loyalist judges and journalists) have decided to derail the fragile democratic set up in Pakistan. According to informed sources, a senior army officer held an important meeting with an influential [...]
‘Crimes’ of Asif Zardari – by Shiraz Paracha
The military eliminated all Bhuttos because Zulfiqar Ali Bhutto, Benazir Bhutto, Murtaza and Shah Nawaz Bhutto did not accept dictation but Asif Zardari, a non-Bhutto, is no different than Bhuttos and this is the reason of generals’ annoyance with Zardari. Generals are desperate to remove President Zardari through the Supreme Court as they [...]

Military must surrender control of foreign policy – by Shiraz Paracha
Recent arbitration by the Saudi intelligence agency in the ongoing ‘CIA-ISI war’ is yet another proof that Pakistan is in a dangerous mess created by the military’s illegitimate control over the country’s foreign policy.

Pakistan’s future: Of misleading reports and false prophets (Part II) – by Rusty Walker
My illustration is merely a depiction of the absurdity of the Pakistan military inserting itself into Afghan affairs at this crucial point of NATO draw-down of forces.

Going ‘Dutt’ against America -by Khaled Ahmed
Today, most leaders say they would have stood up defiantly (dutt jata) in the face of the American request to join its war on terror. Former president Pervez Musharraf is being abominated for kowtowing to the Americans; and General Parvez Kayani is trying to make amends by going dutt and teaching the Americans a lesson 10 years later. The truth [...]

On the USA-Pakistan army alliance: Sleeping with the enemy? – by Rashid Aurakzai
Like a rabbit popping out of a magician's empty hat, Osama bin Laden (OBL) was not ‘smoked out’ of any cave in Afghanistan but right from under CIA’s 63 year old strategic partner’s Sandhurst, Abbottabad.

Politicians united to defend the mighty army and spy masters – by Haris Ubaid
Pakistan's political elite after due consultation with his highness COAS Kayani and his highness Chief Spy Pasha have come to the defense of the military establishment.

Can anyone define “Saniha” for me?
It is unfortunate but true, everyone wants to get some publicity by calling what happened on the early morning of 2nd May as a “Saniha”. The Urdu word “Saniha” has the closest English translation of “Tragedy”. The word Tragedy is defined as “a shocking or sad event”. Before I proceed further, I would like to ask all what [...]

A Lasting Solution for Balochistan – By Malik Siraj Akbar
While the Chief of Army Staff General Parvez Ashfaq Kayani’s announcement to replace PA soldiers with the paramilitary Frontier Corps (FC) in Balochistan’s gas-rich town of Sui indicates a significant policy change on part of the military, it would be unwise to say that this is without precedent. In the last eight years, the federal [...]

The military should apologize for Zulfiqar Ali Bhutto’s judicial murder – by Shiraz Paracha
