'All military rulers should be tried under High Treason Act'
2008-05-29
He told Dawn News that the most serious challenge facing the nation was the prevalence of the culture of impunity with regard to high treason.
The government should proceed against all living and dead military rulers under the High Treason Act of 1973, Law Commission of Pakistan Secretary Dr Faqeer Hussain said on Wednesday.

He told Dawn News that the most serious challenge facing the nation was the prevalence of the culture of impunity with regard to high treason. He said it was unfortunate that the successful completion of this crime saved the perpetrator from punishment because the offender took the highest position in the state. Dr Hussain said that the situation could greatly improve if the courts ruled against such orders, adding that the perpetrators should be punished, as this would serve as deterrence for would-be military rulers.

An' it prosper, none dare call it treason.

#3  You never, ever, threaten your enemies in power until they no longer have power, and you do. You be all sweetness and light until you can nuke them from orbit, then you are damn careful to leave no survivors.

#2  I take it the next time uniforms take over, they know not to give power back. It's a teachable moment. Fools like the 'Secretary' fail to learn that. Not that there's been a pattern of rule between suits and uniforms in Pakland.
