From today's Washington Post, "Elections [in Pakistan] were due in January, but when emergency rule was imposed, government officials raised the possibility of postponing them by as much as a year. The Bush administration has called for the vote to move ahead, and on Thursday applauded Musharraf's announcement. 'We think it is a good thing that President Musharraf has clarified the election date for the Pakistani people,' White House press secretary Dana Perino said in a statement."
[C]larified the election date!!!! The Bush administration acts as if Musharraf's trashing of their constitution was a simple scheduling problem?! I haven't been doing a lot of posting recently, but this just demands it! Probably the next time Blackwater kills someone unprovoked, the will say "Blackwater cleared up local misunderstandings."

Mark my words: this is laying a precedent for Dubya to "postpone" US elections...
