Pakistan Leader Talks of Democracy

I'm sure he did, but it's not like he's actually acting on it. And he says he wants the military to have a constitutional role in overseeing the civilian government, which is anti-democratic in the extreme. Not that I blame him; Pakistani democracy was basically a disaster.

Musharraf also said he won't extradite the Daniel Pearl murder suspect. Rightly so, since he committed his crimes in Pakistan. But if Ahmed Omar Saeed Sheikh is not punished for his crimes, there will be hell to pay.
