Oops

Pakistani National Security Adviser Mahmood Ali Durrani was fired today for telling reporters that the sole surviving Mumbai attacker, Mohammed Ajmal Kasab, was Pakistani.  Oops.  

A spokesman for Prime Minister Gilani said he was fired for speaking on national security issues without the Prime Minister's approval, though many think the government was looking for a reason to rid themselves of the pro-American adviser.  

Many see this as a sign of the shaky and tenuous nature of governance in Pakistan.  

Perhaps the real story here is Durrani's eyebrows.  Eyebrow.  Look at that thing!
