General Musharraf goes on Struggling for Legitimacy

[although you are someone who belongs to a totally different country let me tell you and this is something even the press reps. in Pakistan accept there is more freedom of press then anyother so-called first world country.]

According to the Freedom House in its report on the situation with freedom of press around the world, 75 (39 percent) out of the 194 countries were rated as ‘free’, 50 (26 percent) ‘partly free’ and 69 (35 percent) as ‘not free’. Five countries improved in category while two declined. In addition to Ukraine and Lebanon, Guatemala and Guinea-Bissau moved from Not Free to Partly Free, while Namibia moved from Partly Free to Free. Only two countries - Pakistan and Kenya - registered a negative category shift in 2004, moving from Partly Free to Not Free.

Does that tell you something bhai-jaan? Its tell us that notwithstanding the sanguine picture you paninted, the press in Pakistan has been more repressed than it was last year.

Mushraff that he is someone who won`t sacrifice national intrest.


That`s easy to do when you keep changing what constitutes a vital national interest..

He`s already accepted that India isn`t going to redraw borders in Kashmir....

why pick-up and beat-up journos who are against national interest? book them under treason.

Ever wondered why dictators while having Total Power project themselves as humble folks destined to lead their countries? Why is that guys like Laloo, a cabinet minister desperately trying to hold on to his chair, shows such arrogance of power? If you dont know their background you`ll easily mistake Laloo as a dictator and Mushy a mere humble politician.

Why? Ever wondered?
