Rushdie Slams Arundhati, Nawaz Slams Pak Army

Salman Rushdie speaks out on Mumbai attacks, slamming Arundhati Roy.

Nawaz Sharif speaks out on Mumbai attacks, slamming the Pak Army and security agencies.

Obviously, each is doing it for their own personal interests, but it's interesting to watch.

Bush has merely bought the automakers enough time until March, so that Obama will have to decide whether to let them fail or not.

Meanwhile, Sharif's popularity is rising as Zardari's falls:

I think Sharif's anti-army stance is the better one, since it could help to de-fang that institution more quickly.
