All righty then. Is George W. Bush’s declaration that Pervez Musharraf is a friend of democracy who hasn’t crossed any lines in Pakistan not enough for you? Do you need a bigger sign of the moral rot in American foreign policy since the Republicans took power? Fine. Here’s a billboard painted with the blood of tortured human rights activists and the smeared feces of the disappeared:
Pakistani dictator Pervez Musharraf informed the Bush administration ahead of time that Musharraf was planning to suspend the constitution, declare martial law and impose dictatorial rule. Musharraf’s close advisers report that the Bush administration’s response was so muted that he considered it a green light to go right ahead. So he did.
