Greyscale, I attempt to click on any of your clips and I get the message "the clip is not online". Are hidden hands behind the scenes blocking your clips or did you sell them as exclusives to CNN?

Noooo.. These guys are hardline Sunnis - very Pro Saudi and Anti Iran, Hezbollah are a Shia party - Pro Iran, Anti Saudi
Terry, I'm surprised P5 haven't put these online as yet - I've already written to them about the clips, usually they're pretty fast approving Current News content

Good to hear that's the usual procedure Akbar, although it's definitely time for the crew to review them quickly and put them online. Nice new clips too.
How did your camera crew feel about filming the protests, or how did you feel shooting the one in Karachi? I'd be a little careful for sure, but being local might give you an edge, and of course these guys want to be filmed as they want to convey their message...
When I was in Pakistan I never felt in danger of any kind. However, I did feel a certain 'anti-American' sentiment once in a while. Talking to people on the streets, one of the first things they would ask 'are you American'? When I said I was Dutch people began to smile and gave me the thumbs up.
It was always American politics that was criticized though. I spoke to a few Americans on my trip and they were fine. There's a lot of misunderstanding from both sides, fueled of course by the media.

Do you mean what's written on the placards held by protesters? I have given a translation of those in the descriptions of clips

From whats audible all I can make out are chants of "God is Great"..
In the clip with the gun pointed at the crowds the speaker is urging protesters to remain organized through the procession

That Pakistani Ranger has a very powerful gun...a .308 full power bullet. That thing goes through a car like cheese.
