Letter to Swiss court would be like a trial on Benazir's grave: Zardari
2012-01-07
[Dawn] President Asif Ali President Ten Percent Zardari
... sticky-fingered husband of the late Benazir Bhutto ...
has said that the PPP itself rejected writing a letter to Swiss court over cases against him and further stated it would be like having a trial over the grave of former prime minister Benazir Bhutto.
... 11th Prime Minister of Pakistain in two non-consecutive terms from 1988 until 1990 and 1993 until 1996. She was the daughter of Zulfikar Ali Bhutto, founder of the Pakistain People's Party, who was murdered at the instigation of General Ayub Khan. She was murdered in her turn by person or persons unknown while campaigning in late 2007. Suspects include, to note just a few, Baitullah Mehsud, General Pervez Musharraf, the ISI, al-Qaeda in Pakistain, and her husband, Asif Ali Zardari, who shows remarkably little curiosity about who done her in...
"I ain't doin' it fer myself, see? It's for Morticia, may she rest in peace."
During an interview with a private television, President Zardari discussed a number of issues dealing with current issues that are plaguing his government.

Among the the subjects he gave his view on included the Memogate scandal, the alleged rift between the civilian government and the military, and the continuing tussle with the Judiciary.

Zaradri said that there was a great deal of hype surrounding the memogate issue and that it was overblown out of proportion. He said that the Parliamentary committee decision on memo case will be accepted.

He said that the civilian government had no problem with either the army or the judiciary.

The president said that Prime Minister Gilani's statement in the parliament over responsibility of giving the late Osama bin Laden
... who was potted in Pakistain...
a visa was directed not at the military itself but rather towards former president Pervez Perv Musharraf
... former dictator of Pakistain, who was less dictatorial and corrupt than any Pak civilian government to date ...
's military dictatorship.

On the subject of Musharraf himself, the president stated that a trial against him should not be held because it would have a demoralising effect on the armed forces.
