Jahangir makes an excellent point in this article in the Independent ("Musharraf has lost his marbles and is targeting progressives"):

Ironically the President (who has lost his marbles) said that he had to clamp down on the press and the judiciary to curb terrorism. Those he has arrested are progressive, secular-minded people while the terrorists are offered negotiations and ceasefires.
