The Washington Post had an excellent article yesterday documenting in detail the infringement on human rights done by the Pakistani Military against its own people, the Pashtuns of Waziristan.

Here are some key quotes validating the view that this operation is for show and collectively punishing a population on par with the British/Ango Military strategy of collective punishment (this is now considered a human rights violation by most).
Here is what one piece of human excrement said to an innocent man:
^Basically, the soldier was threatening the life, liberty, and property of this innocent man who had no militant ties.
The extent of the crime goes beyond just displacing these people but also guaranteeing the destruction of their agrarian base:
The army knows full well that these people depend on these animals for food, work, and trade.
Here is how Pakistan ensured these 70,000 some souls would have to deal with their situation:
Apart from the clear Pakistani Media Military Complex propaganda, here is a real life view of a Wazir:
Despite Pakistan's military crowing about victory and this being a clearing operation, the tribal member offers the reality ground level view:
This is what Pakistan and its cheerleaders are bringing to Pashtuns with its double game policy instead of admitting its role it has decided to extend the game even farther at the expense of its own people and at the expense of Pashtun lives.

Two weeks ago, a Pakistani soldier came to Mir Abat Khan’s home in North Waziristan and issued a stark threat: If you don’t leave your home, we will kill you.
The extent of the crime goes beyond just displacing these people but also guaranteeing the destruction of their agrarian base:
Khan brought 12 family members on the trek. They left everything behind: their belongings, their food, two donkeys, three cows, 10 chickens.
Here is how Pakistan ensured these 70,000 some souls would have to deal with their situation:
When the displaced Pakistanis first arrived, many of them had no shelter from the blistering sun and very little to eat.
It’s unclear how long the refugees will remain in Afghanistan. Some suggested that their anger at the Pakistani government might keep them here for many months.
“I don’t want to go back soon,” Khan said. “We’ve suffered so much in these last weeks.”
“I don’t want to go back soon,” Khan said. “We’ve suffered so much in these last weeks.”
But many assume that a significant number of militants fled the area in the lead-up to the operation.
“The only ones affected were civilians,” Wazir said.
