Over on Atrios, Tena has a piece on the latest alleged al-Zawahri tape. In it, the speaker is calling on the citizens of Pakistan to rise up and overthrow their pro-American government link.

Owing to my Return of the ... One True King series, I now get press releases from Naveed Butt, spokesman (in Pakistan) for the Hizb ut-Tahrir, see also link. See Alisher Khamidov's piece from last Fall in Eurasianet for slightly dated background on this particular central asian underground radical Islamic organization.

The press release is entitled "Musharraf is transforming Pak Army into Colonial American Army", and in two longish, but not unstylishly so, paragraphs, argues that case, and inter alia, for the replacement of Americans-by-proxy (Generals) by Mullahs.

Folks needing to see the original drop me a note.
