From the BBC:
Pakistani President Pervez Musharraf says all foreign students at madrassas, or religious schools, some 1,400 pupils, must leave the country.
"Any (foreigners) in the madrassas - even dual nationality holders - will leave Pakistan," Gen Musharraf said.
While many are taking this as a positive move, a little thought leads me to the conclusion that if there are no foreigners in the madrassas then there will be no-one telling the foreign press what is going on there. Pinnochio Musharraf can then claim whatever the hell he likes about clampdowns or changes of heart on teachings in the schools.
