Dear Mr./President/General Musharraf,

The War On Terror Executive Committee is pleased to present you with your exclusive WOT Privilege Card, to be used at your discretion.

As a member of this elite club, this card allows you innumerable benefits (including and not limited to):
- Declaring “emergency”
- Suspending the Constitution
- Replacing the judiciary
- Setting up your choice interim government
- Arresting, detaining and mistreating lawyers, media personnel, human rights activists, students, and protestors in general.
- Shutting down cable news channels
- Holding suspect/staged elections
- Basically, anything that you can think up to cater to the whims of your colossal ego as apparently, you are the only one who knows what is right for Pakistan.

All these benefits are yours under the label of “war on terror”. Who knew it would be that simple?!

Please note that the use of this card is limited to Pakistan only. Other despot WOT Privilege card members have rights to similar benefits within their own countries, except for the US Administration who currently possesses the only Platinum WOT Privilege card which can be used globally.

Thank you for banking on us,

The WOT Executive Committee, in association with the Society of Fascists for the Advancement of Globalism

    Interesting and filled with satire, as usual. It was not mentioned what card holder should do if his card is stolen by some of his “JUNIOR”? is there anyway card holder submit the application to lock the card.

    It was also not mentioned whether there is any facility of SUPLEMENTRY CARD for “Dependants” and Juniors like VCOAS?

    Incase the card is stolen, dive into a bunker or leave the country ASAP.

    i suppose the exec committee does not issue application forms for this kind of card. it must be a by-invitation-only type thingy.

    i believe correct usage would involve inserting it UP the fundament… NOT swiping it across, as swiping may lead to permanent erasure of magnetic strip data (or permanent erasure of cardholder).

    Very, very clever, as usual. So does this WOT card come with bonus points depending on much it is used? If so, Pres B. & V-P C. ought to have LOTS of bonus points accrued.
