Time for the cricket world to start making some noise.

1. This is pretty sad. So much for the myth of America supporting freedom and democracy.

5. He has a political party
This will be very interesting because he was married to a British socialite, Jemima Goldsmith.
Imran raised money and built a cancer hospital after his mother died from cancer. He then entered politics. Imran is an Oxford educated political scientist. He was captain of the Oxford cricket team.

Jemima and their kids escaped a plane crash after she was involved in charity work among Afghan refugees.

Okay, this is starting to sound a bit more like military dictatorship ...

Pakistan police on Sunday began a roundup of 1,500 lawyers, judges and political activists on a list of people to be arrested one day after Pakistani President Pervez Musharraf declared a state of emergency, police sources and witnesses said.
