From a BBC news item today:
"President Musharraf is widely believed to have declared the 3 November state of emergency in order to purge the Supreme Court that he suspected was about to rule against his re-election, says the BBC's Barbara Plett in Islamabad."
"The verdict was expected to go in Gen Musharraf's favour since he has appointed new judges to the bench who are considered more loyal."
"Meanwhile, President Musharraf has amended the constitution to prevent future legal challenges to his actions."
And they have the gall to call the elections that may (or may not) be held, 'free and fair'!
