Pakistan has been our ally only in the free trade of heroin the past decade or so. Armitage and Musharref are old buddies, so to speak. They do business together. Oil is another good import/export.

When Armitage threatens Musharref, it's like one big dope dealer threatening another. THESE are exactly the types of people who are running these countries. Armitage is a heavy hitter. Weapons and nuclear secrets are passed back and forth.

So who is Richard Armitage? None other than a former board member of CACI--the private contractor that employed four interrogators at Abu Ghraib prison. (Meanwhile, CACI is being investigated by 5 US agencies for possible contract violations. CACI has some 92% of its contracts in defense, and many wonder how they got the contracts.)

Meanwhile, Armitage also recieved the highest recognition given a civilian...........from Pakistan. So what the hell is going on?
