MUSHARRAF CLAIMS HE SAVED PAKISTAN; REALLY HE DESTROYED RULE OF LAW

Pervez Musharraf says by suspending Pakistan's Constitution he saved the country from destruction and destabilization. The BBC reports:

"Pakistan's President Pervez Musharraf has said his emergency rule saved the country from destabilisation."

I guess Musharraf means "saved the country from the rule of law." That's what Musharraf did - he fired the Chief Justice of the Supreme Court, Ifthikar Chaudhry, beat and then locked up protesting lawyers, and by doing so, he destroyed the rule of law in Pakistan.

Musharraf is just like Bush. To hell with the rights and privileges of the constitution, lock up enemies and throw away the key, destroy individual rights and liberties. After all, he knows what's best.

If a court refuses to go along, fire the judges, deny them pensions and put in judges that will do your bidding.
