    From the people they interivew, the mood in Pakistan is "anger and embarassment."

    If that many soldiers can be taken without even firing a shot, it makes you wonder. Either about the fighting capability of the army, or their loyalty (or lack of?) to the government, maybe some of both. Considering the report of political unrest there lately, if I was thinking about plotting a coup d'etat, the time would seem right.

    I wonder what India to the south thinks about the fighting capacity of the Pakistani army.
