#4 If they punish Perv, then the next time they have a coup the General-in-Charge will have to remain dictator until he dies in office, one way or the other. It'll be a one way street.

If they don't punish Perv, then another coup is assured.

With this compromise, Perv (kind of the best of a poor lot of dictators) is "punished," but he's pit of the country, so no actual firing squad is involved.

#5 He killed Mrs Bhutto, destroyed hundreds of careers and families of men just doing their jobs. He invited the taliban into Balochistan, established Al-qaeda camps in the Sistan region and ordered the deaths of thousands of poor tribals. Murdered judges, lawyers and activists, no action could be taken against Perv's muscle for fear of liquidation.

The atrocities under him and his aide Tariq Aziz were left out by major networks because the BBC was turning pro-pakistan back then. No one got to know about his crimes, but the judiciary knew and they remembered. This only means that as democracy tries to assert itself in the 'Stain, the judiciary is trying their limits.

Not sure whether their military babus can work things Musharraf style to save him under the gaze of global watchdogs. Ideally it should deter them, but the watchdogs themselves seem to be corrupt as hell. Either way, he's going to get his punishment and suffer to death.
