Now this is pretty interesting.
According to John Edwards, he was first on Musharaff's rol-o-dex in the occasion of increased instability:
DECORAH, Iowa -- Edwards spoke in Waukon this afternoon about having calls in to Pakistan’s President Pervez Musharraf. Then, at his second event in Decorah, he told Iowans that he got his call returned.
“He called me,” Edwards said, “because I told
the ambassador I’d like to speak to him. I met him a few years ago,
which I think I told you earlier, and we had a conversation in which I
urged him to continue the democratization process. He told me, he gave
me his assurances that he intended to do that, and we also spoke about
having international independent investigators allowed into the country
for transparency purposes, for credibility purposes, and we spoke
briefly about the elections.”
