    U.S. Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice

    said Musharraf, who imposed emrgency rule Saturday, should stick to his word and "take off his uniform,"

    "I want to be very clear," Rice said. "We believe that the best path for Pakistan is to quickly return to a constitutional path and then to hold elections."

    Rice's comments came as police, using tear gas and batons, clashed with lawyers and journalists Monday outside the courthouse in Lahore.

    The confrontation took place as more than 1,500 lawyers were arrested across the country -- 1,200 in Lahore itself -- with police blocking roads leading to courthouses in major cities.

    Whats next ?
