It is about time! I’m glad Cheney went over there and told them to get with the program:

Pakistani security forces captured the former Taliban defense minister, Pakistani intelligence officials said Friday, in what would be the highest-ranking leader from the Afghan insurgency to be arrested since it lost power in 2001.
[…]
Akhund was nabbed with four other suspects in a raid on a home in the southwestern city of Quetta on Monday
The arrests came amid growing international pressure on Pakistan to crackdown on Taliban militants and coincided with a visit to Islamabad on Monday by Vice President
Dick Cheney.
During his visit, Cheney had expressed concern to President Gen. Pervez Musharraf over al-Qaida regrouping inside Pakistan’s tribal regions and an expected Taliban spring offensive in neighboring
Afghanistan.

Yes, I know that it also says the following:

One of the intelligence officials said Akhund’s arrest was a planned operation following a tip from U.S. officials and was not linked to Cheney’s visit. He said that seven more Taliban suspects had been arrested, also in Quetta, later in the week. He had no information about the identities of the other suspects.

I’m not buying it 🙂
