I guess when you have lied for so long, it would be hard to tell the truth about anything, huh?
"Pakistani military leaders are avoiding Musharraf issue; Say they won't interfere with impeachment" by Laura King, Los Angeles Times | August 17, 2008
ISLAMABAD, Pakistan - High-stakes talks continued yesterday aimed at reaching an accord under which Musharraf would agree to step down in exchange for various guarantees, including a promise that he would not face prosecution for acts while in office.
Although the military remains a highly respected institution, its reputation has suffered in recent years. Many ordinary Pakistanis were angry that senior generals acquiesced when Musharraf, then still the army chief, declared emergency rule, suspended the constitution and threw thousands of opponents into jail.
One wonders why the NYT didn't note that caveat like I did. Or does one anymore?
As the crisis drags on, the army does have one powerful interest to protect. Analysts and news reports say senior generals have signaled to the civilian leadership that they have no wish to see their former chief humiliated - or, in the most drastic scenario, put on trial, imprisoned or even executed.
Yeah, so there isn't going to be any impeachment. Most of this story a bunch of fooley shit!
The president's camp, according to those involved in the talks, has demanded full legal immunity in exchange for his resignation.
Translation: BLACKMAIL!
--more--"
Notice how stink elites are never held to account for their crimes, unlike the suffering masses?
