The second “mistake” came the following November, after Musharraf’s government failed to contain the legal community’s impressive civil-disobedience movement to pressure the government into reinstating Chaudhry. Musharraf, again acting impulsively, placed the country under emergency rule when Chaudhry was brought back by a decision of his own court.
虽然穆沙拉夫并没有在演讲中详细述说他的“错误”，但却明显地提到了一些，比如他在2007年3月鲁莽地决定解雇最高法院的首席大法官乔杜里。乔杜里拒绝在决定重要宪法问题上被总统及军队牵着鼻子走，其中包括穆沙拉夫身为军人参选总统的合法性问题。
