The Independent reports that 2.4 million refugees have fled the Swat Valley in just a few weeks as the Pakistani army launches an attack on its own people on behalf of the Obama administration. Obama's government has been bankrolling and bullying the Pakistani government into launching this onslaught. And this from a "liberal", "anti-war" president.

The Independent allows readers to comment on this and other  articles on its website.  Stop the War Coalition supporters are encouraged to make their views known. Don't let the warmongers and Islamophobes monoplise this dicussion.

Update. Al Jazeera reports that the figure for refugees is actually 3.4 million.
