But in recent months, as unrest in Pakistan grew and he became increasingly unpopular, Musharraf began quietly allowing more American "eyes and ears" into the region, Pakistani officials said in interviews.US officials say they hope Musharraf's concessions will evolve into a greater role for US forces in the region over time............."We'll start with intelligence sharing," said the State Department official, who asked not to be identified because he was not authorized to discuss the matter with the press. "If we could turn that into joint operations, all the better, but we have to walk before we can fly."more at:http://www.boston.com/news/world/asia/articles/2008/02/... /

In fact there was a story posted here about how one of his ISI minions described how they stole the last election (sound familiar?)./Sheesh, another palace coup.
