Taliban Arrests in Pakistan a Bad Thing?

InstaBud-D here again.  The London Times has an interesting take on the spectacular arrests in Pakistan last week.  The gist of their point is that Pakistan is arresting Taliban leaders that were trying to work a deal with the Karzai government, and that Pakistan is arresting them because they don't want the conflict, and more importantly, the billions of dollars in US aid to fight it, to stop.

I have no idea if the leaders being arrested are the more moderate ones or not, but it is odd that Pakistan can roll up all these guys at this time.
