One would question why Musharraf signs peace deals with the Taliban in NWFP & FATA, while Balochis, Lawyers and Journalists bear the brunt of the state machinary.
Guys the point regarding the "embed" idea (as Bill Roggio's page clearly states he is) is an extremely valid point. An Embed will is stuck within a American unit and will only see what they see. So how the hell has he got any experience of what is happening across the border? He strikes me as the kind of guy who would not last 30 seconds across the border whilst away from the protection of the vast American military machine. Therefore his knowledge of the situation across the border will be virtually non existent.
