...collaboration is the latest example of how German-U.S. ties have improved since the falling-out over the Iraq War. But the closeness of the collaboration has also reignited another debate, both in Germany and the U.S., over how to balance the need for effective eavesdropping of suspected terrorists with the privacy of ordinary citizens. Both U.S. and German security officials are citing the German bust as Exhibit A in an effort to introduce more sweeping electronic eavesdropping powers in their respective countries.

In just a few days the Supreme Court is set to rule on the constitutionality of Musharraf's nomination for another term as President while still retaining the office of Army Chief. Musharraf's latest move against Sharif is unlikely to win him any more judicial favor. Even if his petition is successful, at this point it is unlikely that Musharraf has enough support in Parliament to win the presidential election, which by law must be held sometime in the next 35 days.
