Imran Khan's under house arrest in Islamabad (for a day) for announcing that he intended to participate in a protest rally against Bush. So much for moving towards democracy! The overreaction from Musharraf's govt is a little weird though, since the MMA is unlikely to embarass Musharraf during Bush's visit - especially since he did allow them to blow off steam for the cartoon protests.</p> Speaking of censorsing voices, Islamabad will be pretty much under curfew when Bush visits, with schools, offices and pretty much everything else shutting down for the day.
