PP1: I summarised my opinion of what happened here http://www.paklinks.com/gs/showthread.php?p=5138069#post5138069
The govt has allowed this issue to fester quite deliberately, for a variety of reasons..the most important is the close links the “ghazis” have with the establishment.

What i take issue is a certain mentality of Pakistanis who simplify everything to the use of violence and death. I find that quite disgusting, while force is an option always it doesn’t mean one should be gleeful about using it (or incompetent in using it as Musharraf has been).

Even less casulaties and damage would have occurred if the gov had nipped this issue in the bud as it has an obligation too. Unfortunately Musharraf with the entire state apparatus is unravelling because of the contradictions he’s introduced in it’s working..his neither here nor there policy is falling apart and the consequences in the long term look bleak.

I think your right. There is no other reason to bring the Mullah Aziz on state television, with such a polite interview.

If he was considered a real criminal by the govt/agencies, he would be treated far more severely, if allowed to live at all.
