Musharraf is no ally in the war on terror
Over and over we're told that Pervez Musharraf is "a key ally in the war on terror" and "a moderate" who is supposedly trying to defeat extremists. General Musharraf is no moderate. In 1999, he almost started a nuclear war with India by sending his forces into Kargil, across the border between India, Pakistan and Kashmir. When Pakistan's then Prime Minister Nawaz Sharif ordered the army to withdraw, General Musharraf started planning his military coup.
