Bush's boy Musharraf
imposes martial law "
declares state of emergency".
The Pakistani leader... declared a state of emergency tonight... confronting Supreme Court justices who are deliberating on the recent vote to re-elect him.
...blacking out all independent news media...
...the justices were ordered to sign...
...police forces had surrounded the Supreme Court building, with justices still inside.
Cellphone transmissions were blocked...
...police also blocked access to the Parliament and to the homes of Supreme Court justices...
All television stations were blocked...
...a list had been prepared of prominent Pakistani journalists and opposition politicians who would be detained.
...1,000 additional police had been deployed in Islamabad, the capital.
And what was the reason given for all of this?
[G]overnment officials said Friday that emergency rule could be justified because of clashes in the past week between security forces and Islamic militants

Deny this at your own peril, America. The groundwork has been laid; we lack only the "crisis" to bring it to fruition.
