INDICTMENT REDICULOUS! |
An indictment today in a Pakistani Courtroom against Pervez Musharraf in the BB Case is more than ludicrous. It would place the former President in direct alliance with those it is known carried out the attack/assassination of BB, the late Baitaillah Mehsud... the "at that time leader" of Tehrik-e-Taliban Pakistan (TTP)!
The most guilt, if any, that might be attributed to the good General would be neglect in not providing adequate "government security" for BB!
He certainly played no direct role in either the planning (or) the act itself.
Let Musharraf retire, he was a patriot who ALWAYS acted in the nation's best interests...as he saw them!
