What is certain is the blistering pace of change. Last Friday afternoon Talat Hussain, a popular TV host, recorded a show about clashes outside the Red Mosque earlier that day. As he finished, word came through that a government spokesman had been assassinated in western Baluchistan province. Moments later a suicide bomber struck in central Islamabad. Then came the news of a meeting between Gen Musharraf and Ms Bhutto. Hussain scrapped his programme and started again.
"News doesn't have a very long shelf-life here any more," he said.
