Musharraf has asked the UAE government to close down Geo and ARY television broadcasts beaming from Dubai. The UAE government has caved in. Not satisfied with the results of his attempts to turn Pakistan into Puppetistan, our Mushy is globalizing tyranny and oppression. If he is allowed to continue like this, there will be a day when he can declare himself the President of the Universe. Read the news below.

KARACHI (Reuters) - Pakistan's private Geo television network, ordered off air during President Pervez Musharraf's emergency rule, said on Saturday it had been forced to close down altogether after it was ordered to halt transmissions via the United Arab Emirates.
Geo, Pakistan's biggest television network, has offices and studios in Dubai Media City, from where it broadcasts news.
"We have been told by the (Dubai) Media City that our transmission will be shut down," Imran Aslam, president of Geo News, told Reuters. "This is all I can say at the moment."
No one at Dubai Media City was immediately available for comment.
Local and international television channels disappeared from cable television in Pakistan amid media curbs imposed by military ruler Musharraf on Nov. 3, which ban reporting which humiliates the presidency, military or government.
