Military Dictatorship versus Democracy

1. I just realized.. this is Cricketeer Imran Khan- he was CONFINED

to his house when Bush was here. I was reading this article on ThinkProgress about a famous crickeeter who, after saying he was going to do a march against Bush, was confined to his house. Although he wasn't identified in the Indian news feed I saw, it's definitely him, which makes it especially ironic that WHILE BUSH WAS PLAYING CRICKET, a FAMOUS CRICKETEER was being imprisoned in his home.

Police on Saturday detained former cricketer Imran Khan at his Islamabad home and arrested dozens of supporters from his party to block a rally against US president George W Bush's visit.

Among the few who gathered to join the protest march to Islamabad from Rawalpindi, police beat and arrested at least 16 people who were chanting slogans against Bush and Pakistani president Pervez Musharraf.

Police ordered a handful of other demonstrators to go home or face arrest.

So much for freedom and democracy in Pakistan
