Re: Luxury jet for Musharraf
Well said and thanks on pointing at exaggerated price that is quoted in the article. It only shows how cheap propaganda these people do (or maybe an innocent mistake) 
Actually it did not occurred to me that 10 seater Learjet could not cost $120 dollars. But then as you should know, people who are propaganda machines know how to make propagandas and even buy propaganda space in western newspapers (as long as it is not a direct accusation and defamation where papers can be sued, many western newspaper are willing to sell space for propaganda).
Anyhow, here is the News of the mentioned jet, that is worth not 60 million pounds (around 125 million dollars) but $60 million dollars, even though that seems too high to me for such aircraft. In early 1990s, VVIP Learjet used to cost $15 million dollars (or less), and Chief Minister of the poorest Pakistani province, Balochistan used to fly on such jet.
As for President Musharraf, he recently visited Saudi Arabia and what I know, he went there on scheduled regular PIA flight. Not on any executive aircraft. Though small aircrafts is needed in government, as since Musharraf has taken over power, numbers in Pakistani delegates visiting abroad has reduced from several hundreds during all past regimes to handful, sometime even two to three.

New VVIP jet acquired
By Our Staff Reporter
ISLAMABAD, Nov 29: A new executive jet has been acquired for use by President Pervez Musharraf, raising the number of aircraft in the VVIP fleet to 14.
The 10-seater Learjet is one of the three planes whose procurement was approved by former prime minister Shaukat Aziz.
“American pilots, who brought the jet here a few days ago, have started training their Pakistani counterparts,” a source said, adding that the training would take two months.
The country’s VVIP fleet includes G-IV, Cessna Citation V, Cessna Citation Excel, Learjet 35, Learjet 45 XR, Raytheon Hawker 400, Falcon 20, Cessna Conquest II, Bell 412 helicopters (3) and an MI-17 helicopter.
“Two other jets ordered may land here after the elections. These jets are for personal use of president and prime minister,” the source said.
He said the value of the new luxury jet was about $60million.
On March 15 this year, Mr Aziz had flown to Uzbekistan in a VVIP plane gifted by Qatar in February. The Airbus-310 aircraft was given official livery and it underwent engineering checks at PIA facilities in Karachi.
