ISLAMABAD (AP) — Former Pakistani military ruler Pervez Musharraf and his bodyguards pushed past policemen and sped away from court in the country's capital Thursday to avoid arrest after his bail was revoked in a case accusing him of detaining senior judges while in power.

The 69-year-old Musharraf jumped into a black SUV and escaped as a member of his security team hung to the side of the vehicle in a dramatic scene that was broadcast live on Pakistani TV. Lawyers shouted, "Look who is running, Musharraf is running!"

He raced to his large compound on the outskirts of Islamabad, which is protected by high walls, razor wire and guard towers. He holed up inside as dozens of police and elite commandos blocked the main road that runs to the compound and kept the converging crowd at bay. About 20 Musharraf supporters held banners and shouted slogans in favor of the former military ruler.

None of the security forces protecting the compound made any move to arrest Musharraf, likely because they were awaiting word from senior officials trying to figure out how to deal with a delicate situation.

Now that's just interesting, as a few months back he was interviewed prior to returning, some longish piece about WHY he was returning, so that he could address the charges brought against him.

At the time, I thought - good for you ! Even if they decide to kill you , it's a great thing for a leader to stand up for his transgressions and freely admit to them in a court of law.

At the time, I was really impressed with his supposed decision. I always thought it was veiling something else, but was never certain what.

Now, it seems, he's just a pansy, compared to his prior stated objective of 'facing the music'.

Pansy.

Sometimes my language usage seems confusing - please feel free to 'read it twice', just in case !

Musharraf was our friend. Remember that!
A "fair weather" friend -- only in it due to the aid he could con Bush into giving.
