U.S. Terror Attack Leaves Musharraf Speechless

“It seems the country has no sovereignty ... The rulers have become like slaves. Musharraf did not open his mouth to condemn the attack.”

Abdur Rahman Ansari, Pakistan Bar Council.

“Many Pakistanis assume that America is a friend of Pakistanà but this is a government living in a political vacuum. Political support for it comes from sycophants and upper class grandees who have no standing with the masses. Nobody knows the exact commitment that Musharraf may have made to the Americans.”

B. M. Kutty, Pakistan Workers Party.
