Musharraf is a military dictator. He does not have full control of the packy ISI. If free elections were held in Pakistan, the islamofacists would gain control and all hell would break loose in that area of the world. We need to be grateful for his help, such as it is.
Err,the last time elections were held to Pakistan's parliament in 2002,Musharraf backed the very Islamist parties you fear so as to nullify the alliance between the established democratic parties.It's a big ruse to imagine that these Islamic parties are all powerful -they can not lift a finger without the military allowing it-they raised them afterall.
& Oh,for the nth time,the ISI is not independent of the Pakistani miilitary apparatus.The view that they are a shady,all powerful group of thugs suits the generals-who can look clean.
