Waziristan Rundown

Dan Darling over at Regnum Crucis has an excellent summary of the Pakistani siege of some "high value target".

This high value target must be a Big Fish for Musharraf to move so aggressively into western Pakistan. It would seem to me that the Pakistanis are close, but no cigar. The longer the situation rages, the more opportunity that the fish has to wiggle out of the net. Certainly you want whomever it is alive, the intel benefits might be worthwhile.
