	Asia Times: Pakistan's army lays a political smokescreen
		The immediate response of Musharraf's regime is to increase the span of military rule over Pakistan, instead of ending it in October 2002 as he is required to by a Supreme Court ruling that followed the bloodless coup in 1999.
		Despite these contradictions, civic society in Pakistan has survived the prolonged military rule; however, it seems to be coming under renewed siege with the news of the regrouping of the obscurantist Islamist forces from neighboring Afghanistan.
		However, the army seems to have successfully persuaded the Bush administration that the rogue elements are a force all to themselves, and have been increasingly challenging the forces of moderation inside Pakistan, read Musharraf.

		PAKISTAN Army Aviation (PAA) dates back to August 1947, when the division of the former British India resources between the emergent states on the sub-Continent at the time of Partition resulted in the transfer of four recently- received ex-RAF Auster Mk 5 and seven Mk 6 lightplanes and spares.
		Progressive cannibalisation failed to prevent Pakistan’s Mi-8s from eventually becoming grounded for some years, and it was not until the necessary spares were obtained from China in the late 1980s that their operations could be fully resumed.
		In Western Pakistan, many of the PAA’s inventory of about 90 aircraft of all types were active along almost the entire battlefront in their normal role of artillery spotting, battlefield surveillance, forward air control and reconnaissance.

		The problem, it seems, rests with the character and training of the Pakistan army - an institution which the global relief regime now recognises as the best informed outfit on local conditions in all the quake-hit areas.
		The army's issue with disseminating accurate information on the ground situation arises primarily from its dual role - being a governmental army and being directly responsible for providing relief to the victims.
		From that point onwards, information on the quake hit zone moved firmly in the realm of political fiction as the ISPR became totally bogged down in defending the government against what was appearing in the media.
