Apparently he fails to realize this tactic will only hurt him in the long run.

There is no point in rigging allegations now IMO. Musharsaf surely took some very big tasks on his shoulders one of them is to educate Pakistani people about the meaning of responsibility, which I believe is lacking in our media as well as about anywhere you go about in Pakistan. Being a big mouth does not makes one a responsible person. And yes. Im sick and tired of this Chief Justice guy and his moron layer followers. sorry couldnt resist. :) An advice for you Farrukh Khan Pitafi??. Think out of the box.

It's never in a losing party's interest to exercise suppressive powers. They can only be further aided by political transparency. They've already lost what power they might have protected by hiding their actions, whereas a regime coming into power has far more to gain by either (a) scapegoating the former administration, deservedly or not, via misinformation, or (b) covering for their own indiscretions. My question to you would be, why would the current government be an improvement over the former? And why should you trust it to *not* dispense propaganda that serves its own interests?
