Great Regulars: What is worrying, however, is the direction

of the feckless and autocratic regime of President Zardari, a man who once boasted to the British press that his government was hard at work fighting terrorism from al Qaeda to Aung San Suu Kyi, though no one seemed to have told the president that Miss Suu Kyi is a Burmese democratic campaigner and not an East Asian terror outfit. Details, mere details.

In the past two weeks, the state has banned access to Facebook, YouTube, Wikipedia and another 500 (or is it 1,000?) websites ostensibly because there is anti-Islamic material on those sites. Omar Zahid, a senior Pakistani television producer, has been raising alarm bells--falling on surprisingly deaf Western ears--reminding those who would excuse the Pakistani government's blanket censorship that "exchange of information has become a very powerful force in Pakistan".
