Update

A few updates:

• Approximately 60 of the lawyers arrested yesterday in Lahore will be tried in the Anti-Terrorism Courts. This is a deeply chilling indication of the venality of this regime. I suppose it's also a way for Musharraf to pretend that this really is about terrorism (as announced in his speech).
• Chief Justice Iftikhar Chaudhry addressed lawyers and media today by telephone. About four minutes into the speech, the government cut mobile phone service in Islamabad. A spokespeson said that "The government has closed the mobile service in some sectors (of Islamabad) and they have said it was just a temporary measure.” How kind of them.
  
• Benazir has flown to Islamabad where she'll be having discussions with govt. respresentatives (but not Musharraf).
• Karachi was calm today and business is "normal" but that's a sign that the demands of daily life must be met no matter what, not that people are happy with martial law.
• A symbol of protest has emerged which is a black armband. Please wear it wherever you go.
• The "new" fake Supreme Court has set aside the Court's judgment on emergency/martial law. You may recall that the Supreme Court, on Saturday evening, hurriedly put together a judgment on the emergency and declared it illegal and unconstitutional. The petitioner was Aitzaz Ahsan and the Court was scheduled to take up the matter before a full court on Monday. Of course this was not to be. However, the judgment stands for the record, despite what these lackeys have said.
• There's still no word on the whereabouts of Imran Khan.
• News TV channels remain off the air. This is a stunning sign that Musharraf still hasn't been able to consolidate this coup 72 hours into the affair. This, after military rule by the same government for 8 years. He's really in trouble.
