A former Pakistani police officer responds to changes afoot in Pakistan, with a new law of counter-terrorism. He starts with:
A nation at war certainly requires all the necessary tools for protection against insurrection and prevention of acts threatening its security. Viewed in this context, the Protection of Pakistan Act (PPA), passed by the National Assembly and the Senate, amounts to a declaration of war against militants across the country over the next two years. However, the elected representatives have gone too far to accommodate the needs and desires of the security agencies battling the militants. While some safeguards have been put in place, certain aspects nevertheless raise concerns.

(He ends) In the long term, it is the rule of law, good governance and socio-economic justice that will defeat the militants.
