Pakistan plans to try former military ruler Pervez Musharraf for 'high treason'
[Washington Post] The Pak government announced Sunday that it intends to try former military ruler  Pervez Perv Musharraf
... former dictator of Pakistain, who was less dictatorial and corrupt than any Pak civilian government to date ...
for "high treason," a dramatic escalation of the charges he has faced since he returned from exile this year.
| Well, sure. If you'd ousted a corrupt and incompetent regime and then they somehow made it back into power, mainly because it's Pakistain, which is kinda the alternate universe, wouldn't you want the corrupt incompetent to hold a trial for you? Doesn't that sound fair? |
| The only thing I don't understand in all this is why Perv returned. Did he think he had the fix in with the military and the ISI only to be double-crossed? Surely a Choudhary wasn't smart enough to pull that off... |
Speaking at a hastily arranged presser, Interior Minister Chaudhry Nisar Ali Khan said the government will name a special prosecutor on Monday to try Musharraf for invoking emergency rule during his dictatorship from 1999 through 2008.
