Musharraf: Off the Hook
Former Pakistani President Pervez Musharraf may escape prosecution. Some political organizations in that country wanted to send him to prison for indiscretions during his reign. Musharraf took over the country in a coup in 1999 and remained in power until August of last year. The intriguing part of this is that Saudi King Abdullah has come to Musharraf's aid asking both of the main political parties to vacate calls to prosecute Musharraf. The question that looms now is why the Saudi's have intervened and why the Pakistani powers that be are capitulating.
