This is a big story for us British Commonwealth types:

Police in Pakistan arrested cricket legend Imran Khan and later charged him under anti-terrorism laws after he emerged from hiding to join a student protest Wednesday…
Khan, who led Pakistan to cricket World Cup glory in 1992, founded a small but vocal opposition party and called for Musharraf to be hanged for treason after the military ruler imposed emergency rule on November 3.

Imran is a ghastly opportunist who played a big part in fomenting Newsweek’s phony-baloney Koran-in-a-can story. But it’s hard to see what Musharraf has to gain by arresting him. I wonder if the finer points of the “emergency” are slipping beyond his control.
