Musharraf lifts Bhutto's house arrest

one can only imagine the container-size load of shit that was dumped on his head for having made such a totally idiotic move in the first goddam place...

Pakistani opposition leader Benazir Bhutto was freed from house arrest late on Friday, hours after she was stopped from leaving her Islamabad home to lead a rally against the president's imposition of emergency rule.

"The detention order has been withdrawn," said Aamir Ali Ahmed, acting deputy commissioner of Islamabad.

A security official said police barricades around Bhutto's home were being taken down. A spokeswoman for Bhutto's party, Sherry Rehman, said she had no information about the lifting of the order.

Earlier in the day police prevented Bhutto from leaving her home and sealed off the capital and the nearby city of Rawalpindi to stop a rally against President Pervez Musharraf.

ol' pervez must have realized that he was signing his own resignation letter if he tried to keep her away from her supporters... god, he's such a fool, but, i guess, he's only acting in true form for somebody who, like his best buddy, george, wants so desperately to hang on to power...
