Pakistan Bound

Literally. No, not my upcoming trip, but bride kidnapping and the rescue of unwilling British brides from Pakistani villages. The Weekly Guardian, a UK paper, recently published an article on the "extraction" team at the British consulate in Islamabad, which rescues the girls, some as young as 14, and sends them back to England. It's impressive and dramatic stuff, and I wonder if the US Embassy helps young American citizens in the same plight.
