On balance, Gen Musharraf has much to answer for, and properly, in a court of law, for his many wrongs. To allow him to go unpunished only encourages the next person to get away with more egregiously horrible acts, and that cannot be good for Pakistan.
I think he doesn't. Legally speaking that is. That's why they are trying him only for these cases.
Of the three cases against him, none of them have any substance, even the one about deposing the constitution.
As President he had the right to declare emergency in the country and he did and that suspends the constitution.
Then he can fire the judges.
I agree on the bit about, that he should answer these in courts, but disagree that he should go punished.
His were political mistakes, not legal ones. Legally he had all that authority so he just used it.
