Dear John E. Carey Peace and Freedom,Dear Sir,Today I want to congratulate you as your Peace and Freedom is far ahead of main stream media. The Peace and Freedom was the first, which give tip about the presence of Osama bin Laden in Bajaur Agency.
Now during an interview with Washington Post, Pakistan’s President Pervez Musharraf has hinted at the possibility of Osama presence in Bajaur Agency. He said that Osama bin Laden could be in Bajaur — this is the tribal agency bordering Kunar province, where there were no coalition forces in the past. On the Afghan side — that’s in Afghanistan.
I have also some information about the presence of dreaded terrorists. Now pressure should be exert on Pakistan to flush out terrorists from Bajaur Agency.
Presently situation in the areas is very very critical as terrorists and Taliban have been fighting war against government forces. I do not why but officials from Pakistani administration have been giving time to terrorists to organise themselves. The other day I along with other people were fired at.
Luckily the bullets missed me narrowly.
If the Pakistani government is reluctant then the US should provide support to tribesmen, who have been becoming direct victims of terrorism.
I once again want to congratulate you.
Dear Sir, we the people of tribal areas will never forget your cooperation and kindness with us.
Again; Thank you very much,
Yours sincerelyMuhammad Khurshid,

A Conversation With Pakistan’s Pervez Musharraf
By Lally Weymouth The Washington Post Sunday, December 16, 2007; Page B1An angry President Pervez Musharraf defended imposing a state of emergency on Pakistan and blamed the Western media for many of his problems — from increased attacks by Islamic extremists to lawyers who have taken to the streets to protest his suspension of the constitution and firing of the country’s chief justice. In an interview with Newsweek-Washington Post’s Lally Weymouth, the Pakistani president reiterated that he would lift the state of emergency Saturday but will not reinstate judges who opposed him. Despite his opponents’ doubts, Musharraf insisted he will ensure a free and fair election in January. But he refused to say whether he would endorse a constitutional amendment to allow former prime minister Benazir Bhutto to serve a third term.
Q. Is there a difference now that you have shed your uniform and relinquished your post of army chief of staff?
A. On a personal note, I loved my uniform. From th national point of view, I don’t think there is a difference. I think the overall situation will be better and stronger. The army is being managed by a chief of staff dedicated to the job, and I will be president of Pakistan, and if the two are totally in harmony, the situation is better.

Debbie, are we supposed to be surprised that bin Laden is holed up in the Tribal areas of Pakistan? That has been known or suspected for quite some time. Or has "Muhammad," by naming the province, scooped us all and identified the real location? Besides, the prime article from the WaPo reveals this "intel" and so do a number of other publications.
