Threats of Revolt in Pakistan Over Possible ‘Pardon’ of US Official http://news.antiwar.com/2011/02/16/threats-of-revolt-in-pakistan-over-possible-pardon-of-us-official/

With US officials angrily demanding the release of consulate employee Raymond Davis from a Lahore prison from the very start, it seemed inevitable that the Zardari government would eventually cave to the pressure and release him, either on grounds of “diplomatic immunity” or as a blanket pardon for the two murders he is accused of. Indeed, it was so assumed that this would be the case that the widow of one of the slain took her own life in protest before any announcement was even made.But even as Prime Minister Gilani hinted at the prospect of that pardon, there is a growing movement threatening an Egypt-style revolt against the government if they dare to do so.
