Pakistan PM: Pervez Musharraf Should Be Tried for Treason

The former military dictator Pervez Musharraf should be tried for high treason, Pakistan's prime minister said, raising the prospect of a serious clash between the country's civilian and military masters.

A treason trial would mark the first time in Pakistan's history that a military ruler has been held accountable and the decision was cheered by many who believe the country's overweening army needs to accept the primacy of elected politicians.
