AN AWAKENING IN PAKISTAN?

McClatchy reports that the tribes of Pakistan's tribal areas are getting fed up with Al Qaeda:

The tribes no longer are willing hosts to the foreign fighters, local jihadis and criminal warlords who hold sway over parts of the Pashtun tribes' mountain homeland. They've become tired and infuriated by the bloodshed, coercion and suffering that radical Islam has brought to their lives, said tribal elders and local journalists.
