Talk:Pervez Musharraf

Difference between US and Pakistan
(Does Economist.com count as public domain? Probably until the end of the week, I guess.)

Quoting from their article: "Even before his coup, he ruled more or less by decree. Parliament has been reduced to a facile talking-shop. And his latest wrecking-job on the judiciary is impressive even by his own standards. Of 17 Supreme Court judges, 12 have been dismissed since his coup. Several, including the chief justice, Iftikhar Chaudhry, are under arrest. They have all been replaced with army-picked sycophants." Nov 15th 2007 edition of the Economist.

So, the President has ruled mostly by decree, rendered the Legislative Body toothless and irrelevant, and tried to dismiss lots of members of the judiciary and get them replaced by loyal people he could control.
