So what do you think? Are they faking it or is the deal really faltering?
These headlines are so strikingly opposite to each other that one has to think. All in 24 hours!
VietNamNet - Pakistan to grant amnesty to former PM Benazir Bhutto

What I think is Musharraf never intended to give her amnesty or make any deal with her. I think she has JUST realized this. The current deal must've been given to her that she should come to Pakistan, go through the cases and the government won't prosecute her so vigorously there by clearing her name and letting each side save face.
However BB doesn't trust Musharraf. What if she comes and he jails her and everything goes wrong for BB. That way no one would suspect Mush since he is supposedly in cahoots with her but BB still goes to jail... Heck maybe PML-N would put cases on BB sicne they were the one who charged her with corruption in the first place.
That's why BB wanted a full pardon for her and all the MPs. She didn't get it, and the deal will probably fail.
