This is not the Pakistan of disastrous floods or Taliban terror. In one episode of her new reality TV show, Komal Rizvi attends a party in Karachi, where illegal alcohol flows freely and the beautiful people chat in English rather than Urdu.

The disaster that began more than two weeks ago in the mountainous northwest of Pakistan is one of the worst in the country's history. Some 20 million people and 160,000 sq km of land — a fifth of the country — have been affected by the floods.

David Headley has a Pakistani wife, who lives with their children in Chicago. He also has an American girlfriend in New York. And he's an Islamic fundamentalist suspected of involvement in last November's attacks on Mumbai that left 170 people dead.
