Presidency Handily

To the Editor:
As far as has been reported, president Musharraf was eventually
forced from office by the Pakistani people; their rejection was fueled
in part by his bid to suborn the Supreme Court. If it were to turn out
that it was the U.S. government that put Mr. Zardari into office, I
would look to this newspaper to report it. If--as seems likely--he was
duly elected by the Pakistani people, this newspaper account seems
embarrassingly provincial in stressing his relationship to Washington
over his relationship to Pakistani jurisprudence. Where is the
discussion of chief justice Chaudhry, whom Musharraf ousted and whom
Zardari had promised to re-instate?
