well played Nawaz very well played ... Have Military on your side and you will have an easy street. Remember no one can succeed in taking over the government unless they are supported by the arm forces but the arm forces can by kept loyal by giving them the higher perk and high standards of life

To the editor Dawn, you folks need to tone down the juice in your stories specially when there is none. When you say "Shuffle" it implies a house cleaning when this is patently not the case. The current DGMO got promoted and as a result there was a very important posting of DGMO to be filled. Terms like "shuffle" make it look like it was done at someone's behest when this is not the case. All the promotions are part of normal routine. Secondly, the said general promoted to the rank of Maj Gen was not given the promotion for becoming a "witness" against anyone. Of all the jobs in the Army, the DGMO slot is something that is reserved for an officer who is extremely well clued and considered a thorough professional. It is not given to officers in reciprocity for becoming a witness against someone else. If anything, his becoming a witness is indicative of his professionalism to not allow the institution of the Army to become embroiled in Hizbut Tahrir controversy which would have undermined the discipline of the Army. Please choose your words carefully. Stay away from oft repeated journalistic cliches that are thrown around in abundance about Pakistan and her Army. These promotions are part of a normal process. This should not even be news since the DGMO is an extremely professional yet apolitical appointment. If anything, it should be a one liner in your newspaper.
