Bhutto calls for Musharraf to step down. Ruh roh.

Bhutto is under house arrest -- again. She upped the ante against Musharraf today saying he needs to quit:

"It is time for him to go. He must quit as president," Bhutto, who has for months held power-sharing negotiations with Musharraf, told Reuters in a telephone interview.
Oh, and according to the Washington Post's front page, that whole thing about Musharraf needing emergency powers to crack down on Al Qaeda and the Taliban. That's not happening:
President Pervez Musharraf's army did not have any more control than it did when the military-led government imposed emergency rule nine days ago. In some areas, it had less.
Good to know George Bush and his crack foreign policy team are on top of this one.
