Swat is a scary scary place. And we don't even know the half of it.

Scary article on Swat in the Wash Post by Pamela Constable yesterday, "Extemist Tide Rises in Pakistan."

Of course, who couldn't have predicted this, instead of being satisfied with ruling Swat, extremists are setting their sites on the rest of Pakistan.

The other most important and distressing part of the article is it gives a hint of how much horrible crap is going on there - executions of female activists and CD store owners - that we are not even hearing about.

One place we might read about these incidents is Dawn, a Pakistani paper. They also have an article on how Swat is threatening the state today.
