President Pervez Musharraf declared a state of emergency despite American opposition and threats. He suspended the constitution and removed the Chief Justice Iftiqar. He has appointed a new chief and high court justices of the provinces. It is shocking to know none of these justices opposed him and took oath under new PCO.

Critics are saying he has angered Americans and will face suspension of the billions of dollars of military and economic aid.

In opinion, he imposed the American rule after consultation with the Bush Administration. Officially, Americans gave statements showing displeasure over his actions.

Americans were also unhappy with the Chief Justice Iftiqar because had released many high profile al-qaeda suspects. Recently he had ordered the government to release all the missing persons by November 13.
