From the BBC:

More court backing for Musharraf

Musharraf has faced international fire over the state of emergency

The Supreme Court in Pakistan has ordered the Election Commission to declare Gen Musharraf the winner of October's presidential election.

Gen Musharraf won the vote easily after opposition boycotts and abstentions, but the previous judges in the court had questioned the poll's validity.

Many of those judges were sacked when Gen Musharraf imposed emergency rule.

The new judges said Gen Musharraf must resign as army chief before being sworn in for his next term as president.

Gen Musharraf has come under intense international pressure to lift the state of emergency, which has seen thousands of opponents arrested and a clampdown on the media and independently-minded judges.

Opponents arrested?
Clampdown on the media?
Sacking independently-minded judges and replacing them with sycophants?

Is Bush learning from Musharraf or is Musharraf learning from Bush? :crazy:
