Why should he do that? He didn't think it was a mistake. Judge was accepting cases against the missing people, which made it difficult for Musharraf to conduct a successful operation against fanatics.
What a lame and pathetic excuse is that. All those sympathizing with mushy, calling him honest and sincere should be ashamed of him as their president did not only change the constitution illegally but also kidnapped innocent citizens of the country. There is no excuse for kidnapping people. If he thought they were terrorists, he should have taken them to the courts but kidnapping people, throwing away judiciary, and illegally changing the constitution highlights his so-called honesty and sincerity towards the country.
when you are fighting a cancer, that previous governments (& establishments) nurtured, conventional methods do not work.
Yes, there was taliban factor before musharraf but Musharraf nurtured them. He never tried to control them, the steps he took made sure talibanizam is nurtured in Pakistan and spreads. If he had sincerely tried controlling them, Pakistan wouldn't be where it is today.
