President Bush wrapped up his four-day trip to South Asia in Pakistan this weekend. The President ruled out a nuclear agreement with Pakistan, but praised Pakistani leader Gen. Pervez Musharraf for his commitment to “freedom and democracy.” The Washington Post is reporting the Pakistani government cracked down on a planned rally against Bush’s visit just hours before his arrival. Twenty members of a small political group were beaten and arrested. A dozen of the party’s leaders were also detained before the protest could grow in size. According to the Post, U.S. officials said President Bush is more concerned about Musharraf’s help in the so-called war on terror than he is about Pakistan’s record on democracy.
