Mark,
Nothing will, God willing happen. Just wanted u to know if it does in
addition to the names in my letter to Musharaf of Oct 16nth, I wld hold
Musharaf responsible. I have been made to feel insecure by his minions
and there is no way what is happening in terms of stopping me from
taking private cars or using tinted windows or giving jammers or four
police mobiles to cover all sides cld happen without him.
