Pakistan’s Musharraf invokes emergency rule By Kamran Haider
45 minutes ago.

Pakistan President Pervez Musharraf has decided to impose emergency rule, state-run television said on Saturday, in a move expected to put off elections due in January.

Nuclear-armed Pakistan’s internal security has deteriorated sharply in the past few months with a wave of suicide attacks by al Qaeda-inspired militants, including one last month that killed 139 people.

A senior security official told Reuters that Musharraf would seek approval for the move from the cabinet later, after which there were expectations he would address the nation.

The cabinet was due to start meeting at 7 pm.

Witnesses said paramilitary troops were deployed at state-run Pakistan Television and radio stations ahead of the announcement, which follows weeks of speculation that U.S. ally Musharraf might impose emergency rule or martial law.

My guess is that we hit bin Laden with that drone air strike yesterday and Mushie’s locking down the country before all hell breaks loose.

“...it is clear from reading the emergency proclamation the main target is the judiciary which is accused of interfering in government policy...” -BBC News

Ok, I for one would like to know why everyone thinks this is bad? If he's trying to keep the country safe from Islamofacists then that's a good thing isn't it? It's not like he's trying to stop democracy, he's trying to protect it from Al-Cockos.

Can anyone enlighten me?
