...Iranian governments described the current mission as strictly humanitarian, and, indeed, last Friday the Iranians rebuffed a U.S. offer to send a second, higher-powered delegation that would have included Senator Elizabeth Dole and an unnamed Bush family member. But the goodwill on the ground was unmistakable. Mohammad Reza Tammasi, the manager of Bam's huge foreign-aid campsite, told the Americans, "We hope your arrival here will help improve relations between our countries...
...count on Musharraf escaping future attacks. In the event of his death, the law prescribes that he be replaced by Senate chairman Mohammad Mian Soomro, an influential member of Musharraf's party, until an election is held.

On one occasion in 1997, a group of unidentified gunmen marched seven of the family's men from their homes...
...Second, the end of American ambiguity toward terrorism is beginning to work. Its allies in the war against terror, including Musharraf, cannot sustain a policy of equivocation. Pakistan-based organizations such as Jaish-e-Mohammad or Lashkar-e-Toiba, dedicated to keeping the Kashmir fire burning, find their profile has changed: instead of heroes, they have become the hunted. It is not only India that wants them now, but also their own government...
